Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil, stir until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Punch down dough, divide into 4 equal pieces, and roll each into a thin oval or round, about 1/4 inch thick.

  5. 5

    Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side until puffed and golden spots appear.

  6. 6

    Keep cooked flatbreads wrapped in a clean towel to stay soft. Serve warm.
