- Then add the flour with the salt and oil and the cup of yeast and knead until you get a soft, light dough; let it rest for about an hour...
- Cut the dough into large pieces and roll them out with a rolling pin and let them rest again for a short while...
- Cook the dough pieces on a pan on the stove (gas) - not in the oven... When the dough puffs up and browns slightly on the first side, flip to brown on the other side until the batch is finished
