Divide the dough evenly into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush each circle with oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of green onions over it. Roll it up like a cigar; coil each pancake and pinch the open ends together to make a disc. Roll each disc flat again to about 1/4 inch thick.
