Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water and oil, mixing until the dough comes together.

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle. Brush the dough with the beaten egg.
5. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the egg, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
6. In a separate bowl, mix together raisins, walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon. Spread the mixture over the breadcrumbs.
