Add salt to the center of the mixture.

Gradually add half of the water to the semolina mixture and mix to form a dough.

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, covered.

After 10 minutes, add more water as needed and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until soft.

Divide the dough into two pieces and roll out to about a quarter of an inch thickness.

Preheat a flat grill on high, then reduce to medium heat.

Make holes all over the rolled-out dough with a fork to ensure even cooking.

Cook each side of the flatbread for about 3-4 minutes, checking for browning.
