Place the flour, salt, and 2 cups water in a large bowl and mix well with your hands, squeezing out any lumps in the dough, until smooth. This will take up to 15 minutes and the dough will be somewhat sticky.

Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rest 30 minutes or up to several hours.

Heat a flat circular cast-iron griddle, a heavy metal crêpe pan, a pizza pan, or another skillet with low or no sides over medium to medium-high heat.

Grab about a softball-size handful of dough and, working quickly, touch the dough ball to the hot surface of the pan, creating overlapping dots until you have a pan-size circle of crisping bread.

Immediately use your paint chipper or pastry cutter to slide under the edge of the crisp dough, working around the edges and moving toward the centre to peel the bread off the pan.

Transfer the bread to a plate and repeat until all the dough is used.
