Ingredients

• ½ cup flour
• 250 g water
• 1 tsp salt

Steps

1. Mix flour and water, adding water gradually, until left with a workable dough. Knead thoroughly.
2. Cover the dough and let rest for about 5 minutes. Add salt.
3. Separate from dough smaller portions and make into balls. Using a flat surface lined with flour, begin to roll out each ball into a flat piece of dough.
4. Place flattened dough on griddle and bake until tender. On a heated griddle, cooking only takes a few seconds. Flip-over and cook the other side for only a few seconds.
5. Remove from griddle and allow to cool. Fold and store.
