Mix the flour and salt. Add 190–200 ml of lukewarm water and the olive oil and knead into a smooth dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into eight equal pieces and roll each one out as thinly as possible.
Transfer to a hot, dry pan or saj griddle and cook for 1–1.5 minutes, until bubbles form inside; turn over and cook for 1 more minute.
Cover with a cloth and keep warm, or serve straight away.
Chef's tip: Covering the flatbreads as soon as they are cooked keeps them soft.
Time's up! Enjoy your meal.
