Directions
Combine flour & salt & add stir in enough water so that the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl & is no longer sticky. Stir till smooth. Knead on a board for 5 minutes.
Shape dough into rectangle & cut in half lengthwise. Divide into 12 portions & shape into smooth balls. Cover with damp balls & let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
Press each ball flat & roll into a 6" or 7" circle. Cover with damp towels. Lightly oil a griddle or skillet. Gently stretch each round as thin as possible. Cook until brown & bubbly spots appear on the bottom, about 90 seconds. Turn over & brown the other side. Remove from griddle & wrap immediately in towels.
