Add the oil and salt into the flour.

Add warm water and knead until you have a dry, smooth dough. (Add the water gradually to make sure the dough does not turn out too sticky.

6

Shape the pieces of dough into cups and place filling inside; then close the cups and smooth into balls.

Cooking
7

Warm a shallow, non-stick skillet over the stove.

8

Using a rolling pin, gently flatten out the filled balls into small round circles (about 3 inch in diameter)

When the skillet is warm enough, place the masroshi on them. Keep flipping every few minutes so both sides cook evenly.
