Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  2. In processor, mix flour, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and salt for 20 sec.

  4. Dough should combine and come clean from the sides of the bowl within a few seconds.
  5. Add more warm water by the teaspoon if necessary.

  7. Remove dough and roll it with your hands to about 18" long.
  8. Place on sheet that has been sprinkled with corn meal (to prevent dough from sticking).
