Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, add the salt to the hot water and stir until dissolved.
Pour the hot water into the flour and add the vegetable oil. Stir the mixture with a spoon until it begins to form a dough.
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead with your hands until smooth and elastic. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Divide and Rest:
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a ball.
Cover the dough balls and let them rest for another 5-10 minutes.
Roll Out the Dough:
Dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking. Roll each ball into a flat circle with a diameter of about 16 cm (6-7 inches). Try to keep the shape as round as possible.
Cook the Pitas:
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
