The Recipe

Step 1

Add the flour, salt, baking powder and whatever spice you are using (optional) into a bowl. Add the oil.

Step 2

Measure out 150ml of warm water. Add 3/4 the water to the flour and mix with a fork.

Step 3

Add the remaining water bit by bit and use your hands to bring the mixture together to form a dough. The mixture should form a smooth dough, you many need to add a little extra water here until it does. If your mixture becomes too sticky, simply add a touch extra flour.

Step 4

Knead the dough for a couple of mins. Pull off a golf ball size piece of dough and roll out on a floured surface. You want to roll it out fairly thin.

Step 5

Take a pan on a high heat, very lightly coat with oil (spray oil is great here). Cook for a couple mins each side until turns opaque and slightly golden. Once each wrap is cooked, wrap them together in a tea towel to ensure the stay warm and pliable.
