Method
Step 1 of 5
Combine the water, oil, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 2 of 5
Stir in 1/2 cup of the flour and the yeast. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to make a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured work surface for 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth. Shape into a ball.
Step 3 of 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand about 1 hour in a warm place until doubled in volume.
Step 4 of 5
Briefly knead the dough until smooth. Cut the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each into a thin oval shape, about 20cm long. Brush 2 large baking sheets with oil. Place 4 ovals onto each sheet. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place for about 20 minutes until the dough has risen slightly.
Step 5 of 5
Preheat oven to 220°C. Brush the tops of the ovals lightly with oil. Bake for about 10 minutes, until puffed and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
