Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- 2/3 cup cold water
Instructions
- Put a baking steel, pizza stone or upside-down sheet pan in the oven and heat to 500°F (260°C) for 30 minutes. Set a timer for 18 minutes before the water touches the flour.
- Stir the water into the flour and knead quickly into a firm dough, about 1 minute. Divide into 6 pieces.
- Roll each piece as thin as you can, then prick it all over with a fork.
- Bake 2 at a time on the hot surface for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and browned in spots.
- Cool on a rack. Wipe your bowl and tools clean between batches.
