6. Brush the dough lightly with oil, cover with a towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes
7. The dough will become less sticky as it sits
8. Oil your hands, and knead the dough for 30 seconds
9. Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized balls.
10. Cover the balls with a towel while you roll out the flatbreads.
11. Flatten one ball and coat liberally in rice flour
12. With a rolling pin, roll it out using light strokes
13. Sprinkle the dough with more rice flour while you roll, to help keep it from sticking and breaking, or roll it between pieces of parchment paper
14. Heat a skillet over medium heat

16. Cook until small bubbles start to appear, 20 to 30 seconds

18. Brush the flatbread lightly with oil, and flip
19. Cook for another 20 seconds, brush the top with oil, and flip again to cook for 20 seconds or until the flatbread has a few golden brown spots on both sides
20. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the flatbread
21. Brush each flatbread with oil or vegan butter, and cover with a towel until ready to serve as you repeat with the remaining balls of dough
