Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the timilia flour and salt. Gradually add the water while stirring the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough begins to form.

  2. 2

    Kneading

    Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour as needed.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Resting the Dough

    Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

  2. 4

    Shaping

    After resting, divide the dough into smaller portions. Shape each portion into a flat disc or desired shape.

  3. 5

    Cooking the Timilia

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and cook each shaped dough disc for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 6

    Serving

    Once cooked, remove from the skillet and brush lightly with more olive oil if desired. Serve warm as a side dish or base for toppings.
