Kesra - Algerian Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    300 g fine semolina
    100 g medium semolina
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
    125 ml water
Preparation
    Mix the semolina and salt together and stir in the olive oil until all the grains are coated.
    Slowly add enough water whilst mixing to make a soft dough.
    Knead the dough until it has a slight spring when pressed and leave covered for 30 minutes.
    Divide the dough into two if using a frying pan and press into a circular disc approximately 1/4 inch deep.
