How to make Semolina Flatbreads
As the first step, take a large bowl, pour in the flour, 1 pinch of baking soda, and the salt, then mix and make a well in the center.
Pour in the water and oil.
Transfer the mixture onto the table and continue kneading until it becomes a soft and compact dough.
Proceed by wrapping the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 5 parts and use a rolling pin to form the flatbreads.
As the last step, cook the flatbreads on a hot griddle or in a well-heated non-stick pan.
With the prongs of a fork, pierce them only when bubbles form.
The cooking time is about two minutes per side.
Repeat this operation until all ingredients are used up.
