Recipe
Tablespoons
Jugs of water
Mugs
Foil
Plates
Tongs/spatulas

Ingredients
1 mug plain flour if you only have self raising that will work fine, it'll just puff up a little bit
1 pinch salt
A glug of oil about 1/2 - 1 tablespoon
Enough cold or warm water to turn the mix into a dough

Instructions

Wash hands
Pop all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Pour in the oil then add the water slowly, stirring the bowl as you go.
When you have something that looks vaguely dough-like, tip out onto a lightly floured board or table and roll or press into as evenly thin as possible. If it looks too wet and is sticking to everything, add more flour. If it is dry and crumbly, pop back in the bowl or bag and add a bit more water at a time until it looks smooth.
Keep them thin and even and they'll taste much better as they'll be cooked evenly.
Heat up a skillet or frying pan on the fire and add a little dash of oil. You don't want a lot of oil in there, just enough to stop the bread from sticking.
Cook each flatbread for a couple minutes, until the dough puffs up with fat bubbles and the bottom looks golden brown in places. Flip over and cook the other side.
Devour greedily.
At the end - Wash up
