Depending on the flour quality, you might need an additional 1 tablespoon. The main thing is to get soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands! Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes, pressing it firmly on the table. Then gather it into a ball and coat with oil.

Grease a microwave-safe dish with vegetable oil as well. Also grease the lid or plate you will use to cover it. Place the dough in the dish; it should be deep enough.

Step 10
Cover with a lid or plate and place in the microwave. Also, put a glass of hot water in the microwave. I have limited space, so it's more convenient for me to use a small bowl of water placed on top. Set the microwave power to the minimum! Heat for 3 minutes. The oven has turned off. Let the dough rest for exactly 3 minutes without opening.

Turn on the microwave for another 6 minutes at minimum (!) power. After turning off, leave the dough in the oven for 6 minutes. DO NOT REMOVE the dough during these minutes and DO NOT OPEN the door! Only after the final 6 minutes have passed, can you take out the dough and the water.
