Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.

Method

1. Tip the water, oil, sugar, salt, flour and yeast into the bread machine pan in the order your manufacturer advises.
2. Run the Dough cycle and let the machine mix and prove the dough fully.
3. Shortly before the cycle finishes, heat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C), with baking sheets or a baking stone inside.
4. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and cut it into eight even pieces, shaping each into a ball.
5. Lay a damp cloth over the balls and leave them to rest and relax.
6. Roll each ball out into a thin round about 8 inches across.
7. Slide two rounds at a time onto the hot sheets or stone and bake until they puff up and turn golden, about 5 minutes.
8. Bake the remaining rounds in the same way, two at a time.
