Vegan Arepas

0 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C.
1 Stir the precooked cornmeal and salt together.
2 Slowly add the water while continuously mixing until a soft dough has formed.
3 Knead for 3-4 minutes before resting the dough for 15 minutes.
4 Divide the dough equally into 6-8 pieces.
5 Shape each piece into a ball with your hands and gently press to form a disc shape.
6 Heat ½ of the oil in a pan and cook 3 arepas until lightly golden on each side. Repeat with remaining arepas.
7 Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes.
8 Allow to cool slightly before slicing in half and serving with your favorite fillings.
