Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the warm water and oil. Gradually mix with a fork until the dough comes together.

Knead the dough well for about 5 minutes. Shape it into a ball and let it rest for about 5 minutes.

Cut the dough in half, then cut each half again until you have about 8 pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten to form discs. Prick each disc with a fork.
