1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of oil

Step-by-step

Using a different robot? Switch it here:

Pour the warm water, salt and oil into the mixing bowl and mix 10 sec/speed 3.
Add the precooked corn flour and knead 1 min/dough speed until a smooth dough forms.
Let the dough rest inside the mixing bowl for 5 minutes so it hydrates well.
Check the texture: if it sticks, add a little flour; if it is dry, add water by the spoonful.
Shape balls with damp hands and flatten them into discs 1 cm thick.
Cook the arepas on a griddle or budare over medium heat for 6 minutes on each side until golden.
Tap the arepa gently: if it sounds hollow, it is ready to open and fill.

Tips

Dampen your hands before shaping each arepa so it does not crack.
Fill them with perico, shredded beef, caraotas or queso de mano.
You can finish cooking in the oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes so they puff up more.
