In a large bowl, combine water and baking soda. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing well. Knead for 3-4 minutes until a medium-soft dough forms.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into two equal parts, then each part into four, making 8 pieces in total. Roll them into balls (meringues), cover, and let them rest for 15 minutes.
Roll each ball into a circle about 35 cm (13 inches) in diameter.
Melt the butter and mix with oil. Brush each piece of rolled dough with the mixture.
Cut lines into the dough with a knife, then roll each piece into a spiral shape. Set aside and repeat for all pieces.
Cover the shaped dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, roll each spiral into a 25 cm (10 inches) circle. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook each piece, turning frequently, until both sides are browned.
Serve warm and enjoy!
