Method
Sift the flour, make a well in the centre and sprinkle the salt over the flour.
Add the water to the well a little at a time, drawing in flour from the edges until the mixture becomes a thick batter.
When the batter thickens, add the rest of the flour. If the flour needs more liquid, work in a little more water bit by bit.
Knead the dough until the air pockets disappear. To check, cut a piece in half and look inside.
Wrap the dough tightly in a damp cloth or cling film, let it rest, then use it.
