Method
- Line three large oven trays with baking paper.
- Place flour in a large bowl. Stir in seeds and salt. Make a well in the centre. Add water and olive oil. Stir until well combined.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Bring mixture together with your hands. Knead to form a dough. Shape into a log. Cut into six equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a ball. Place on a tray. Spray with oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Stand for 20 minutes.
- One at a time, roll out portions on a lightly floured surface, dusting with extra flour as necessary, into a 15cm x 30cm oval shape. Arrange on prepared trays.
- Cook two trays in a moderate oven (180C), swapping trays halfway through, for about 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove. Cool on trays. Repeat with remaining tray. Break into large pieces.
