Oil-and-Water Dough

Flour, oil, water and salt, kneaded into a smooth, soft dough that rests briefly before rolling. No rising and no chilling: the dough for sambusak, malawach and parata.

    Add the oil and the water and Knead about 5 minutes, until you get a smooth, soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
    ⚙ KneadingBowlStand mixer
    💡If the dough sticks, add a tablespoon of flour; if it crumbles, a tablespoon of water. Good dough is as soft as an earlobe.
  3. 3
    Cover and let the dough rest 30 minutes at room temperature.
    💡Oil-and-water dough needs no rising: the rest relaxes the gluten, so the dough rolls out thin without shrinking back.
