Instructions

Mix the flour and salt, then add the lukewarm water and oil little by little to obtain a soft dough.
Knead for 5 minutes, cover and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
Divide into 4 balls and stretch each one as thinly as possible, until you have an almost transparent disc about 30 cm across.
Heat a griddle or large pan over high heat, without any fat.
Place the disc on the griddle, sprinkle with sesame and cook for 30 to 40 seconds until golden spots appear.
Turn over and cook for another 20 seconds, then transfer to a tea towel and roll it up to keep it soft.
Continue with the rest of the dough.
