Using a rolling pin, roll the dough thin, flat to form a circle, don’t have to be a perfect shape as long as it’s rolled flat it will work. Drizzle some oil on top of the rolled dough and brush using a pastry brush.

When done turn it to cook the other side as well. Once both sides are evenly cooked turn the roti on all around the edges to cook too. Continue the same with the rest of the roti.
