Ina’s Tip
Roll the dough out about 1 cm thick and cut into rounds with a 10 cm plain round biscuit cutter.
Method:
Place all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Add the water to the dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Knead well until the dough is smooth and silky.
The dough may also be prepared very successfully in a food processor or large mixer with a dough-hook attachment. Pour a little extra olive oil into the bowl and coat the dough with it. Leave overnight in the fridge or, if you are in a hurry, in a warm spot to double in size.
Knead again and shape into 16 - 18 flat, even-sized disks (see Ina's Tip). Place the rounds well spaced on a floured baking sheet and leave in a warm spot until puffy (about 20 minutes).
Cook the breads on the braai or directly on a griddle pan until dark brown markings appear. Flip over and grill until brown.
An optional extra is to add a few needles of fresh rosemary, our Sun-dried Tomato Quarters, sliced olives, etc. in to the dough before kneading for the first time.
The breads may also be baked in the oven at 250 °C for 10 - 15 minutes.
