Combine all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then add the water. Mix together well then knead for a couple of minutes.

Cover the bowl and set aside for 30 minutes.

Get two baking trays ready - line or grease.

Remove the dough from the bowl and divide more or less equally into 8 pieces. Using your hands, make your boat, oval or diamond shapes. (Hold the dough in two hands and shake gently to create a flatter shape). Place on your tray. Repeat.

Cover loosely (a clean tea towel will suffice) and leave in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours (depending on the room temperature). The samoon should almost double in size.

Turn the oven on very high to heat up. Place the trays in the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes. The samoon should puff up slightly whilst cooking and be a golden brown colour.

Enjoy!
