Steps
Sift the flours into a large mixing bowl.
Dissolve the yeast in 1 / 4 cup of the warm water.
Add 1 1 / 2 cups of the remaining water and the salt.
Pour the yeast mixture into the center of the flour and gradually work in.
Beat with your hands for 20-30 minutes , or use the dough hook on an electric mixer and beat for 20 minutes , gradually adding in as much of the remaining 3 / 4 cup water as the dough will take.
Preheat oven to high , and place a griddle on the center shelf to preheat for 10-15 minutes.
When hot , lightly oil with a small cloth dipped in oil.
Turn the dough out onto an oiled board.
Oil your hands and divide the dough into 6 parts , rolling each piece into a ball.
Roll out each ball as thinly as possible with an oiled rolling pin and prick all over with a fork or pinwheel , in 3-4 vertical lines across the surface.
Take the round of dough and stretch it a little across the backs of your hands , and place dough on the smooth side of a cushion or pad.
