very warm (NOT HOT) water (120 to 130 degrees) and add oil. Blend

floured surface until smooth & elastic for about 10 minutes. Cover
with plastic wrap and then a towel. Let rest for 20
minutes. Punch
down and divide dough into 2 parts. Divide each half into 6
pieces. Shape
each piece into a small smooth ball. Cover and let rise 30
minutes Roll
each ball on lightly floured surface until it is a 5"
circle. Place
6 circles on large cooling rack. Bake in preheated 500 degree
oven for 5 minutes or until circle is puffed and tops just begin to
turn brown. Remove
from heat to cool and bake the other 6 circles. You
may use foil covering the over racks to bake but make sure you use 6
individual sheets for 6 pastries to the heat circulates for even
cooking and so they puff up.. Recipe from LastMinuteCooking.com
