Instructions

1. Put the yeast in a stand mixer bowl (or large bowl), add the warm water, stir and leave for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the olive oil, flour, sugar and salt to the yeast mixture.
3. Mix until combined, using a stand mixer with a dough hook or by hand.
4. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. If kneading by hand, oil your hands and work surface lightly.
5. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let prove for 60-90 minutes, until doubled in size.
6. Lightly flour the work surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, and shape into balls if you like, resting them under a damp cloth.
7. Roll each piece into a round about 19 cm (7.5 inches) across and ½ cm (just under ¼ inch) thick.
8. Lightly oil a medium frying pan (cast iron works best) with about 1/4 tsp oil and heat over medium-high heat.
9. Shake off excess flour from the dough, then place the flatbread in the pan. Cook 60-90 seconds until bubbles form, then flip and cook another minute.
10. Brush the pan with oil after every 3 or 4 breads, and stack the flatbreads on a plate under a clean tea towel to keep them soft and warm.
