Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2/3 cup water
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Stir the flour and salt together, then add the oil and water and mix into a soft dough.
- Knead on a floured counter for 1 minute, just until smooth.
- Roll out 1/4 inch thick on the parchment. Score into squares with a knife and prick all over with a fork so it doesn't puff.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until set and just starting to brown on the bottom. Cool on a rack and break along the scored lines.
Notes: Pricking with a fork lets steam escape, which keeps the bread flat and even without any leavening. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
