Preparation

Step 1

. Preheat oven to 400°.

2. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir well. Add 2 cups hot water; stir until well combined and smooth. Let stand 10 minutes. Divide dough into 12 equal portions, shaping each into a ball. (Dough should be moist.) Working with 1 portion at a time, roll each portion into a 3-inch circle (about 1/2 inch thick).

Repeat procedure with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and remaining arepas. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until arepas sound hollow when lightly tapped.
