Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. 2 Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
  3. 3 Add the vegetable oil and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. 4 Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  5. 5 Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls.

  7. 7 Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  8. 8 Place a rolled-out dough circle onto the hot skillet.
  9. 9 Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the underside is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

  11. 11 Remove from heat and repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Tips

For a softer texture, you can add a little more oil while kneading the dough.
