Put the flour, salt, yeast and olive oil into a bowl and mix together.

Gradually add the water (you probably won’t need all of it) and mix until all the flour has been incorporated from the sides of the bowl.

Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.

Return the dough to the bowl and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7.

Line a baking tray.

Rip the dough into hand-sized pieces and roll each out into thin strips about 25.

5 cm/10 inches in length.

Moisten your hands a little and roll each strip in sesame or poppy seeds, then place on the baking tray.

Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
