The dough for these was just flour, water, salt, and a small amount of oil. It called for sesame oil, but I used canola instead and mixed in some sesame seeds. You knead the dough then roll it into balls. It was ridiculously sticky, despite the mounds of extra flour I added.
You are then supposed to use a rolling pin to flatten the balls. After an unsuccessful attempt using an old Smirnoff bottle, I resorted to using my palms. Then you brush oil over half of them and stack an un-oiled one on top of an oiled one, and cook on an ungreased pan.
When you eat them, you can separate the two halves and fill it with stuff - like leftover roasted vegetables! Stef also made pesto eggs and home fries!
These were really good! They would make a great sandwich/wrap bread.
They smell just like these crackers we had once. They also look/taste exactly like the bread in a wrap I once ate. It took me like 3 hours to figure out where I got it, but I think it was Pita on Mass. Ave. Can anyone confirm this? It's driving me crazy.
You should try making parathas if you liked these. The technique isn't that different and you can fill them with leftover (or freshly made) Indian food.
