Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Active dry yeast - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Semolina flour - for dusting

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Once risen, punch down the dough, divide it into two equal portions, and shape each portion into a ball.
6. Roll each ball into a flat circle about 1 cm thick. Dust with semolina flour to prevent sticking.
7. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove from heat and cover with a clean cloth to keep warm. Serve immediately.
