Knead Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.

First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Cooking the Flatbreads

Preheat Skillet
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. You do not need to add oil.

Shape Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

Cook Flatbreads
Place the flattened dough in the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed up. If using toppings, sprinkle them on one side while cooking.

Keep Warm
Transfer the cooked flatbreads to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining flatbreads.
