Ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus a little extra for cooking)
A pinch of salt
(Optional) Herbs, garlic, or cheese for added flavor
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Add the active dry yeast and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix until a smooth dough forms. If desired, add herbs, garlic, or cheese for extra flavor.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until it doubles in size.
Step 2: Cooking
After the dough has risen, gently press it down to release the air bubbles.
Heat a pan over medium heat with a little olive oil.
Divide the dough into equal portions, then flatten each piece slightly with your hands.
Cook each piece of dough in the hot pan for 2-3 minutes on each side until the flatbread is golden and fully cooked.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm as a side or with your favorite toppings.
These soft flatbreads are perfect for dipping in sauces, using as a pizza base, or as a complement to a main dish.
Tips:
Cook over medium heat for even cooking.
Vary the flavors by adding herbs, garlic, or cheese to the dough.
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container and reheat in a pan or on the grill.
