Steps
1 Done | In a bowl, combine all the ingredients: flour, oil, baking soda, and lukewarm salted water (as needed). |
2 Done | Knead the dough well until a firm, elastic, smooth, and homogeneous ball is obtained (usually, it must be worked for at least 10 minutes for a good result). |
3 Done | Lift the ball of dough and flour the sides of the bowl before placing it so that it does not stick. |
4 Done | Let stand for 30 minutes, covered with a clean cloth. |
5 Done | Divide the dough into 4 balls and place them on the work surface. With a rolling pin, create discs about 25 cm in diameter and 3 - 4 mm thick. |
6 Done | When the discs are ready, heat a non-stick pan or a plancha or cast iron pan and cook for about 10 minutes: it cooks very quickly, so you have to be careful to turn it often so that it is well cooked on both sides. |
