Step 1
1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the vegetable oil and water and stir. If the dough is too dry, add more water. If the dough is too wet and sticky, add more flour. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a lid, and let rise until doubled in size, about one and a half hours.
