Method
Mix the flour and salt, then add the water a little at a time until you have a soft dough
Knead it 5 minutes and let it rest 15 under a cloth
Divide it into four and roll each piece out to about 3 mm
Cook on a hot dry griddle, 2 to 3 minutes a side, until it blisters and dries at the edges
Wipe the griddle with a trace of oil between rounds, no more
Stack them under a cloth as they come off, so they stay soft

From the kitchen
Kita is unleavened, which is the whole point of it. Injera needs three days of fermentation; kita needs twenty minutes
Barley flour is the traditional grain and gives a darker, nuttier bread than wheat
This is what chechebsa is made from, so make extra if you want breakfast tomorrow
A dry griddle, not an oiled one. Oil fries it and you want it baked
