Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the flour and slowly add the water with a wooden spoon making sure to mix well so there are no lumps. Add the salt. Mixture should be very smooth. Cover and let the mixture rest for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) Remove foam from top and mix again. Heat oven to 400º Pour a small cup of olive oil into a jelly roll pan- enough to cover bottom. Add the mixture, making sure it is no thicker and 1/4 inch. Bake until the cecina has a golden crust- about 30 minutes. Grind lots of black pepper on top as soon as it comes out of the oven.

I discovered this as an alternative to bread when Jerry and I were doing the South Beach Diet. It is really good hot. Tastes great when you haven't had any kind of bread in weeks!!!
