Ingredients
Directions
Activating the yeast: Add the yeast and sugar to the lukewarm water. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the activated yeast and oil. Mix the ingredients until you get a smooth and soft dough. If needed, add a bit more flour or water to achieve the right consistency.
Kneading the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Forming the flatbreads: Once the dough has risen, transfer it back to the floured surface and divide it into 6 equal parts. Shape each portion into a ball, then gently flatten them with your hands or a rolling pin to form flatbreads about 1 cm thick.
Second rise: Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a clean cloth, leaving enough space between them. Cover with a cloth and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
Cooking in a skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Carefully place a flatbread in the heated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat the process with the remaining flatbreads.
Serving: Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with various spreads, cheese, or vegetables.
