Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- Add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Divide the risen dough into 2-4 portions and shape them into 1-inch-thick rounds.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over low to medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet if needed.
- Place one dough round in the skillet, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on one side.
- Flip the bread, cover again, and cook for another 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Cool on a wire rack before slicing or serving.
Notes
- Ensure your water is warm (110°F/45°C) to activate the yeast effectively.
- For variations, add fresh herbs, garlic, or shredded cheese to the dough before shaping.
- The dough can also be prepared ahead and refrigerated overnight for convenience.
