Then slowly add the hot water while stirring the mix using a spatula, Continue to add water until the mix looks completely wet enough to form a dough. Let the mix cool for a couple mins so that is cool enough to handle. Then using your hands knead to form a smooth dough adding extra olive oil as necessary. Now divide the dough into about 12-14 equal balls. Keep aside.
