• ✓ water
• whole wheat flour
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• olive oil

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt in a large bowl. Use a wooden spoon to stir in water and oil. Mix until a soft, elastic dough forms and add more water, if needed.

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• all-purpose flour
• egg
• butter
• caraway seed
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Heat a nonstick crepe pan over medium-high heat.
2. 2 Meanwhile, whisk together flour and water in a large bowl. Add egg and mix well. Whisk melted butter, caraway seeds, and salt into flour mixture until batter is smooth.
3. 3 Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the heated pan. Tilt the pan around so batter forms an even, round shape. Cook until bubbles form throughout batter, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip crepe by using a spatula to loosen it from the pan. Flick your wrist upwards to give crepe a toss, flipping it, and landing it back in the pan. Cook the second side until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter.

Ingredients

• ✓ water
• vegetable oil
• cumin seed
• jasmine rice
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over a medium-high heat. Drop in the cumin seeds, and cook until they splutter. Do not allow the cumin seeds to burn or become really dark brown in color. Add the rice and fry it in the oil for about 1 minute.
2. 2 Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for approximately 15 minutes. If you feel the rice is getting burnt near the base of the pan as it cooks, one trick is to place the saucepan on another flat pan or griddle which is directly on the flame. Toss with a fork.

5. 5 Punch the dough down and knead briefly. Divide into six pieces and shape them into balls. Place them on an oiled plate and cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap. Let balls rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Roll out and stretch each ball until it is about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide. Remove the pizza pan from the oven, brush with oil and place one of pieces of bread on it.
6. 6 Bake at 550 degrees F (285 degrees C) for about 4 to 5 minutes until bread is puffed and has brown spots, then transfer to a wire rack, returning pizza pan to oven to keep hot. Place bread under broiler until 'charcoal' dots appear on the surface. Wrap finished bread in a towel while baking the remaining loaves. (If your pizza pan is big enough, try baking two loaves at the time.)
