Directions
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl.
Mix yeast and sugar with a quarter of warm water. Leave until it becomes frothy.
Pour into flour mixture and gradually add enough water to make a soft but not sticky dough. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
Knead lightly on a floured surface. Divide dough into 10 equal portions, knead each one slightly.
Roll each portion into an oval about 8 X 5 inches. Place on a lightly floured baking tray.
Brush tops lightly with oil and let rise for 1 hour. Bake in a 475℉ (246℃) F oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
As soon as they are removed from the oven, brush very lightly with a little water and cool on a wire rack.
