👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine semolina, salt, baking powder, and sugar if using.
Mix well.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in olive oil and plant milk.
Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until you get a soft, crumbly dough that holds together when pressed.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes to absorb moisture.
Step 3: Shape & Cook
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-low heat.
Dust a flat surface with semolina. Flatten the dough into a round (about 1/2 inch thick).
Place in the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Flip carefully only once.
