Dough Preparation
- 1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Add Wet Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the warm water and vegetable oil. Mix with a fork or your hands until the dough starts to come together.
- 3
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.

Rest the Dough
Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
