In a large bowl, mix the water, olive oil and salt together, adding the flour gradually. Use as much flour as necessary to make a smooth but not too firm dough.
Spread out the dough with a rolling pin and cut it into thin strips (about 5cm wide and 15-20cm long).
In a large frying pan, heat the oil until quite hot and fry the strips until golden.
