Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/4 cups water

Instructions

Place the two flours and salt into a food processor. Pulse it a few times to get it well mixed. While it is turned on, slowly drizzle in the oil.
1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup white flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon oil
Slowly start to drizzle in the water. Stop drizzling as soon as it comes together in a ball. It will make an actual ball when you have enough water in there. Once it is in a ball, put the water away and let it churn for another thirty or so second.
1 1/4 cups water
Remove the dough from the processor. It should be somewhat sticky and moist without being goopy and wet. Place it on a floured surface, and separate it into smaller balls. Roll out each ball into a very flat disc.
Heat a griddle or grill on medium high heat. Place the ungreased bread onto the ungreased pan. Let it cook for a few minutes until you start to see it make a few bubbles or turn a little brown on the bottom. Use tongs to flip it to the other side and cook it for another minute or two.

Notes

You can use all-purpose flour if white flour is unavailable.
I use olive oil but feel free to use the oil you have in hand.
For the water, you can use less— use your judgment as it varies hugely by the humidity level.
