Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients until it forms a rough dough. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release air and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 8 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place one piece of dough in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until puffed and golden brown spots appear.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough pieces, stacking cooked flatbreads on a plate and covering them with a clean towel to keep them soft and warm.
Serve warm with your favorite dips, fillings, or as a side to complement your meal.
