Mix with a spoon, then mix by hand while adding water gradually until smooth but do not knead.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let it rise until doubled in volume.

Dump the dough on a floured working board and divide it into equal pieces.

Place one piece of dough at a time on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roll it into a thin circle.

Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise again for at least 30 minutes.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes or until golden, then broil for 2-3 minutes.
