Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt and sugar. Add the lukewarm water and knead for 5 minutes until you have a soft dough.
- Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 balls. Lightly oil them and let them rest for another 10 minutes.
- Roll out one ball very thinly, brush with oil, then roll it into a log and coil it up on itself like a snail.
- Flatten the snail into a disc and roll it out gently.
- Cook in a hot, lightly oiled pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and flaky. Pat them with your hands to bring out the layers.
Variations and tips
Savoury version. Leave out the sugar and add a pinch of cumin to the dough.
