Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix warm water and sugar; sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into six equal portions; shape each into a ball. Rest for another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Flatten each ball into half-inch thick disks and cook each for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
