Ingredients

600

g

cake flour
10

ml

salt
10

ml

sugar
30

ml

olive oil
10

g

instant yeast
450

ml

lukewarm water

Method

Place all the ingredients except the water in a bowl and mix lightly. Add just enough lukewarm water to form a smooth, elastic dough. Knead well. Coat with a little oil and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume. Knock the dough back, roll out until about 1 cm thick and cut out 15 cm circles. Make small diagonal incisions all over each dough circle and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Heat a heavy-based pan, cast-iron pan or skillet, but do not add any oil. Place the dough circles in the heated pan and toast until brown on both sides and cooked in the middle.

Tip of the day

Cooking pasta
Remember to always add a spot of cooking oil to the water in which you cook your pasta. This ensures that the pasta doesn't stick together.
