1. Mix the flour, salt, yeast and oil in a large bowl and add enough water to make a soft, but not sloppy, dough. Knead well. Put into a lightly oiled bowl to rise for 1 hr until doubled in size.
2. Divide the dough into 8 pieces, about 250g each, and use a rolling pin to flatten each one into a circle, 15cm in diameter, about 1cm thick. Then leave the pieces on a lightly floured baking tray to prove for 5 mins. Heat a large frying pan to a medium heat and dry-fry each piece until browned on both sides, about 5 mins in total. Set aside to cool slightly before serving.

  These are very easy to make i tend to chuck the ingredients into my bread maker as I have a dough option. I can't get it to the size they say but nevertheless they are delicious especially with chilli con carne.

  I agree easy to make and tasty. didn't make 250g portions though mine alot smaller - a few seemed undercooked through the middle. Would make again but small and thinner.

  I've made these lots of times and they always come out well. Very good for filling up the empty tummies of young men!

  Moccafaux is right - they do not compute, and other users have noticed the end product is smaller than they expected. Why don't you correct the recipe instead of letting error proliferate. ?
