Add 1/3 of the flour and stir. Cover and leave in a warm place to prove for 30 minutes.
Work in the salt, 2 tablespoons of the oil and the remaining flour. Cover and leave in a warm place to prove for a further 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Knead the dough briefly. Divide it into six portions, shape them into balls, then roll out into rounds.
