Divide into two pieces, round them, and roll each thin. Brush with oil, sprinkle with salt, roll into a coil, and rest for 10 minutes.
✅ Done when: Each coil holds together and the layers are evenly oiled.
Watch out: Do not flood the dough with oil or the seam will slide apart.
Roll each rested coil into an even thin pancake. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over low heat and cook until both sides are golden and blistered.
✅ Done when: Both sides are golden, crisp in spots, and cooked through at the center.
Watch out: Low heat gives the interior time to cook before the surface burns.
