Ingredients:
200g plain flour
200ml water
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp oil
oil for coating
flour for dusting
Method:
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Form a well in the centre and add the water and oil. Bring the ingredients together until you have a dough. By the end you should have a fairly soft dough that is not sticky or tacky. If it's too liquid then add a little more flour.
Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth then divide into seven equal pieces and roll into balls. Dip these into flour then roll out to form circles. Coat the upper surface with oil and dip in flour. Fold the dough in half so the oil is sandwiched in the middle. Now coat the upper surface with oil and dust with flour. Once again fold the dough in half so the oil is in the middle (you will now have triangle shapes).
Coat the triangles well in flour then roll out into a circle about 6cm in diameter. Put a no-stick pan over medium heat. When hot add a sabaya. Drizzle oil over the bread and move around on the pan until coated. Continue frying until the surface starts to bubble then flip over and coat the other side with oil. Continue frying until browned on the base.
Remove from the pan and serve warm. These breads are excellent for breakfast and also make good accompaniments to sauce-based stews.
