Procedure

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Knead together the water and flour in a bowl to get a smooth dough.

  4. Divide each of the 4 equally sized portions into four smaller portions for a total of 16 portions.
  5. Roll each of the 16 small portions into small balls.
  6. Flatten each of the small portions into small, thin, flat disks. If desired, use a butter knife to cut a small cross onto each wafer.

  8. Take the wafers out of the oven and flip them over using a spoon or chopstick.
  9. Bake the wafers for another 3 minutes.
  10. Take the wafers out of the oven and let them cool.

  • Use a spoon or chopstick to flip the wafers over to avoid burns. Do not use your bare hands, even if wearing gloves.
