What each ingredient does

Flour
Forms the gluten network that gives the dough its structure and workable elasticity.
Water
Hydrates the flour so its proteins and starches form a cohesive, pliable dough.

The step that matters

Cook on a heated griddle for only a few seconds per side. Thin dough cooks very quickly; too little heat leaves it doughy, while overcooking dries it out and makes it brittle instead of tender.
