Few tips to Make gluten-free and vegan flatbread using just two ingredients:

Making a good dough is the key to making soft, puffed pocket flatbread.
Always add hot water to the flour, and the main reason to add hot water is to give the stability and stickiness to the dough. That helps while you roll it and you can make a crack-free flatbread.
The dough should be soft enough and should be rolled without cracks.
So due to the addition of hot water, makes rolling of flatbread job much more manageable.
Knead, knead, knead to make dough soft(it helps to make bhakri puffy)
While rolling bhakri place one hand around the edges and then roll with the other hand, that will help you to make crack free and round bhakri.
The dough should be rolled thin, so thinner the dough the more it will puff.
It should be rolled out to an even thickness, the uneven thickness can cause a certain area to put hand the other might not.
