  4. For the dough, add dry ingredients and mix well, then add the wet ingredients (make sure water is the last ingredient to add in, as you are likely not going to use alot of it)

  8. Arrange the dough balls in a circular oven safe dish starting from the centre- this is to make a honeycomb design
