In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, oil, and warm water to create a dough.
Knead the dough until it becomes smooth, then drizzle a little oil over it.
Cover the dough and allow it to rest for two hours so it can become soft and elastic.
After the resting period, stretch the dough by hand until it is paper thin.
Dust the stretched dough with flour and roll it into a long rope.
Coil the rope into a spiral shape and let it rest again before cooking.
When ready to cook, gently crush the paratha to separate the flaky layers.
