Use a food processor, stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or your hands to mix the dough.

Add enough liquid to the dry ingredients to make a soft dough.

Combine hot water and oil in a measuring cup.

The dough should be quite soft.

Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.

Coat a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place it, sprayed-side down, over the dough.

Let the dough rest for 10 to 20 minutes before rolling.

Bring to room temperature before using.
