🌾 What Makes This Flatbread Special?

🧾 Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ to 1 cup warm water
🥣 Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Mix everything well so the yeast is evenly distributed.
Add the olive oil, then gradually pour in warm water while mixing. Start with ¾ cup and add more as needed until the dough comes together into a soft, slightly sticky ball.
✋ Step 2: Knead Until Smooth
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and soft.
If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of flour. If it’s too dry, wet your hands slightly and continue kneading.
⏳ Step 3: Let It Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap.
Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
