- 1 tsp baking powder

- 200 ml boiling water

- 2 tsp garlic salt

- 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter to resemble the texture of fine bread crumbs. Add the water slowly, mixing with your hands to make a soft dough. 

Knead for a few minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Smooth a tablespoon of olive oil over the dough ball, put in a covered bowl and rest for 10 minutes.

Divide into small balls - roughly the size of golfballs and then roll out into size and thickness of preference.

Cook in a dry frying pan until one side is slightly browned then flip to cook the other side for a minute or two. 

Keep stacked and covered. Freeze leftover wraps.

Preparation time: 25 minutes
