To make dough: Mix flour, salt, pepper and baking powder with enough water to form a smooth dough. Knead until smooth. Cover in a bowl and leave overnight. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out thinly on an oiled counter top. Spread liberally with ghee or oil. Fold and shape into balls. Cover dough with a damp cloth. Set aside for half and hour.
