put the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer

pour the warm water over it

if using the salt or oil add them now

use the dough hook to mix the dough

once it comes together knead for 1 minute

take it out of the bowl and gather up the dough in a ball

cover the dough with plastic wrap

let the dough rest for 2 minutes

while it's resting get out your skillet, rolling pin, the extra flour, and a damp towel

preheat the skillet over medium heat

when the dough is resting pull the plastic wrap off

divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll in balls

cover the dough with the damp towel

sprinkle some flour on the counter

lay a dough ball on it turn it over to coat both sides

press it out to about 2 inches across

then roll it gently out to about 5-6 inch circle

dust off the excess flour and lay it in the preheated skillet and let it cook about 30 seconds

flip it with a spatula and let it cook the other side for about 20 seconds

once it's cooked on both sides flip it back to the first side and gently press with a spatula

as you press you'll see and feel the roti start to puff up

flip it quickly and gently press the second side, it will continue to puff up until it's inflated

remove from the skillet

and roll out another one and cook it the same way, repeat until the dough is used up
