1. 1

   Make a well in the center of the flour, add the salt, 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil and the water. Knead for about 10 minutes to form a very smooth dough. Using well oiled hands, make 6 balls and place them on an oiled surface. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Rub your hands with some of the vegetable oil to thoroughly grease them, then on a greased surface such as a sheet pan, flatten out each ball with the palm of your hand stretching the dough gently in all directions until it is very thin and about 12 inches square. Sprinkle with semolina, then fold in two sides to the center, sprinkle again with semolina and fold in the other two sides, to form a square packet, approximately 3-4 inches in size. Flatten this again as thin as you can, to form about a 5 inch square.

3. 3

   Cook on a hot oiled griddle or cast iron pan until blistered and brown in spots on each side.
