In a bowl, place the flour together with the salt and baking powder (or baking powder). Mix very well.
Add the oil, and little by little, add the water. Mix with your hands. Start kneading for 5 minutes. There should be a compact bun that does not stick to the hands and comes off the walls of the bowl.
Flour the surface of the table and work the dough for another 5 minutes. A smooth bun will remain, without cracks.
Shape into rolls of the desired size. Crush them with your hands and prick them with a fork.
(Optional) Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes covered with a cloth.
Heat a pan, without any oil, and place the rolls. Cook 5 minutes, on each side, turning them over, so that they cook evenly.
As they are ready, cover them with a cloth so that they don't get cold.
Fill them with whatever you like best, or try them, just like that, they are very good.
