Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients:

• 312g (2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp (15g) olive oil
• 250ml (1 cup) water
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for dusting)
• Butter (for brushing)
• Extra flour (for dusting)
• Sugar (for sprinkling)

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Follow these steps to prepare the dough for your paratha:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
2. Add the olive oil to the flour mixture and mix well until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes.

Step 3: Shape the Parathas

Once the dough has rested, you can shape your parathas:

1. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about the size of a golf ball).
2. Dust your work surface with extra flour to prevent sticking.
3. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.

Step 4: Cook the Parathas

Now it's time to cook your parathas:

1. Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat.
2. Place a rolled-out paratha on the hot skillet.
3. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface.
4. Flip the paratha and brush the top with butter.
5. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sugar while hot.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Your sweet parathas are now ready to serve. Here are some serving suggestions:
