Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 475 F.
  • Mix the ingredients, reserving 1/2 cup of water. Add this water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough is moist enough to work. You may not use all of the water. If you add too much water, add flour, one tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky to work with.
  • Create 10 roughly equal balls of dough. Place each on a clean surface and smash it flat.
  • Transfer to non stick, or parchment lined, baking sheets.
  • Bake until crisp, about five minutes.
