Serves :
  • 1 1/2 cups plain flour


  • 1/2 teaspoon salt


  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil


  • 1/3 cup warm water


  • Plain flour, for dusting

Directions

  • Place flour, salt and vegetable oil in a food processor. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add warm water. Process until mixture just comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead for 2 minutes or until mixture is smooth. Divide mixture into 6 balls. Place on a lightly oiled plate. Cover with plastic wrap. Stand for 30 minutes to rest.
  • Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out each ball into an 18cm round. 3 Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook 1 dough round for 30 to 45 seconds or until beginning to puff up and brown patches appear on underside. Turn. Cook for a further 30 seconds or until beginning to puff up and brown patches appear on underside. Wrap in a clean tea towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough. Serve.
