Cooking dough
Pour 3 cups of flour onto the table and make a crater without leaving flour in the center. Pour vegetable oil, egg, water into the middle of the crater, add salt and carefully mix with flour. We slowly pull the flour into the center of the crater with a hand and knead it with liquid until a thick mass forms there. Mix the thick mass with all the flour on the table and knead thoroughly.
The dough we got should be put in a container and covered with a towel or polyethylene. The covered dough will "rest" for 30 minutes, and then you need to knead it again.
After the second batch, the dough rests for another 30 minutes, after which it is ready for rolling.
