Boiled rice

1) In the saucepan add 1 cup of your preferred rice I use Jasmine, to 2 cups of  cold water .

3) Turn out onto a floured  surface and knead to form a stiff dough like bread.
4) Continue to knead until dough becomes smooth and elastic. Takes about 5 minutes.
5) Place dough back into an oil coated bowl, cover  and leave somewhere warm to rise to double its size.
6) Punch down the dough and cut into 8 balls, roll out each dough ball and place on a baking sheet and bake at 450 F Gas mark 3 for roughly 8 minutes.
Please note:
There is no second rising of the dough as this is a flat bread.
