Combine water, salt, and olive oil in a bowl and mix until salt is dissolved.

Add flour to the bowl and mix to form a dough using a dough scraper.

Knead the dough on a table for 2 minutes.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 482°F (250°C) fan off.

Cut the dough in half and roll it out very thinly on a floured surface.

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes using a pizza cutter or knife.

Poke holes in the dough with a fork to prevent puffing.

Transfer the cut dough to a non-stick paper lined tray and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Brush the dough with water and sprinkle with salt before baking.

Bake in the oven for 3-4 minutes until browned, flipping if necessary.
