In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the flour, olive oil, cumin, baking powder, and salt, and mix on low.
Add the hot water a tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together in a ball, about 5-7 minutes.
Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel, and let rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
Heat a large, dry frying pan over medium-high heat.
Roll out the first piece of dough as thinly as possible. Place it in the hot frying pan, and cook until bubbled and browned, about 1 minute. Flip and repeat. Reserve.
Repeat with remaining dough.
