Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Mix all the ingredients and knead with lukewarm water; add the water gradually according to the dough's needs until you obtain a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into medium-sized rounds (size as desired). Roll the rounds on the kaak mold, lift the kaak from the mold, and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the kaak in a preheated oven at 180°C until the edges brown. Do not leave them in the oven too long so they do not become hard.
