Step-by-Step Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients

Place flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center.

Incorporate Liquids

Gradually add olive oil and water into the well, stirring with a fork or your hands. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a little more water or flour as needed for consistency.

Rest the Dough

Form the dough into a ball, cover it with cling film or a damp cloth, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour. This makes it easier to roll out thinly.

Roll Out the Dough

Divide the dough into 2-3 portions depending on your desired thickness. Roll each portion into a thin, even layer, aiming for transparency without tearing.

Tips & Variations

Oil Substitution: For a richer dough, use melted butter instead of olive oil.

Gluten-Free Option: Replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking mix.

Herbed Dough: Add 1 tsp of dried herbs (e.g., oregano or thyme) to the flour for extra flavor.

Short on Time? Use store-bought puff pastry as a quick alternative, though it alters the texture slightly.
