In a mixing bowl combine all-purpose-flour, baking powder and salt, gradually add warm water in small batches and form a smooth dough. 

Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Add 3 tbsp oil and knead for further 10 more minutes.

Cover and allow the dough to rest for 1 hour minimum best results place the dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight until use .

After 1 hour once the dough has rested form large lime size roundel, exactly how we prepare roti,  dip the roundel in flour and roll to form a roti.
