Dough Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and sea salt. Gradually pour in boiling water while stirring with a wooden spoon until clumps form.
- Add room temperature water a little at a time until the dough begins to hold together. The mixture should look scraggly.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Divide into eight equal portions.
- Roll each dough ball in oil and arrange them on a plate, cover, and let rest for 2 hours or overnight.
Cooking the Roti
- Lightly oil your work surface. Flatten each dough ball until paper-thin, brushing with oil on top.
- Coil the flattened dough into a spiral shape and place seam-side down. Let rest for another hour.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and flatten a coiled dough piece to a 6-7 inch diameter.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping as necessary.
- Gently squash the hot roti with your hands to separate the layers and serve warm.

Notes
Using weight measurements for flour ensures consistency. Allow adequate resting time for best results.
