How to make it

  1. Knead the flour with the water, salt and 40 ml oil until you have an elastic dough. Cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Stretch the dough out on a clean, floured tablecloth, gently pulling the edges until the sheet becomes thin.
  3. Brush the sheet with a little oil, spread the filling in a thin layer and roll or fold it into the shape you want.
  4. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake at 190°C for about 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
