Steps

1

Mix all the dry ingredients into a bowl (flour, thyme leaves, salt and sugar)
2

Add half a cup of olive oil then start adding the water gradually while mixing with the other hand until we get a nice rounded dough
3

Add the rest of the olive oil and continue to mix the dough again
4

Now cut the dough into small rounded balls, around 3 cm in diameter
5

Using a rolling pin roll the dough into disc shapes
6

Brush the tray with olive oil and place the rolled discs on it
7

Put the tray in an oven preheated at 200c for about 5-10 min (until the texture of the bread is crispy)
8

Personally I prefer to make them on the sandwich toaster to make sure that they’re crispy on both sides (they’ll look sexier this way as well 😍)
