Turn out onto a lightly-floured canvas or baking board and toss to coat sparingly with flour.

Knead very lightly for just a few seconds..

Pat or roll dough out to 34-inch thickness. Shape with a floured cutter, or cut into 2-inch squares, using a floured knife.

Or bake dough in layer or oblong cake pan, to be cut in squares for serving. What is not eaten while hot will be good split and toasted.
