Method

Sift the flour and ¼ tsp salt into a bowl. Make a well and work in the oil and 65ml water to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in clingfilm and leave to rest for 30 mins.
Divide the dough into 6 and roll out each piece to a 12cm disc. Heat a griddle pan until hot and cook the discs for 1-2 mins on each side, until charred and puffed up; cool.
Top the discs with the ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes and basil leaves; season. Fold over to eat.
