   Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add the oil and water while stirring until the mixture forms a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until it becomes soft and pliable. Place the dough in a large oiled bowl and turn it once to coat with oil. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
