Preparation and Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the Flatbread Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Let the Dough Rise
Place the 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 doubled in size.

Preheat the Oven

Shape the Flatbread
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat rectangle or circle about 1/4 inch thick.
