  1. 01

    Mix both flours, yeast, sugar and salt; add water and oil to form dough. Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth.

  2. 02

    Cover and rise 60–90 minutes until doubled. Divide into 8 balls, cover and rest 15 minutes.

  3. 03

    Heat oven to 240°C fan with an upside-down heavy baking tray inside. Roll each ball into a 16 cm oval, about 4 mm thick.

  4. 04

    Place in batches on the hot tray and bake 4–6 minutes until puffed and spotted. Wrap warm breads in a clean tea towel to soften.
