Method
- In a large bowl, mix the all purpose flour, warm water and a bit of the cooking oil and knead until it is of a good bread-dough consistency. You could add salt and some herbs to the dough for better flavour.
- Pinch off 3-inch thick balls from the dough. Using a rolling pin flatten the dough balls and set aside.
- On a skillet cook the wrap shells with a little oil to avoid sticking. Set aside to cool.
