Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Semolina - 50 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Water - 150 ml (warm)
• Vegetable oil - 50 ml (for dough)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina, and salt.
2. Gradually add warm water while mixing, until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
5. On a floured surface, take one dough ball and flatten it into a thin rectangle, using your fingers or a rolling pin.
6. Brush the surface with melted butter and fold the dough into thirds, then fold it again to form a square. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.
8. Cook each folded dough square for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
9. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and drizzle with honey before serving.
