Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup fine semolina
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water, plus more as needed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for folding
- 3 tbsp melted butter

Before you cook
- Mix the flour, semolina, salt, sugar and yeast together in a bowl.
Steps
- Add the warm water to the flour mixture gradually, kneading as you go.
- Knead the dough for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding a little more water if it feels dry.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal balls.
- Oil your work surface and hands generously.
- Flatten one ball with your oiled fingers, stretching it out into a thin, roughly square sheet.
- Fold the two opposite edges of the sheet into the center.
- Fold the other two edges into the center to form a smaller square.
- Press the folded square down gently to flatten it slightly.
- Repeat the stretching and folding with the remaining dough balls.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Place a folded square in the hot skillet.
- Cook for 3 minutes per side, brushing with melted butter, until golden and crisp.
- Repeat with the remaining squares.
- Serve warm drizzled with honey.
