Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour, and a little extra for kneading
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water (mixed with olive oil)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. I use my kitchenaid. Slowly add the warm water and mix to a dough consistency.
  2. Knead 5-10 times on a floured board and place back in bowl to rise in a warm place. I oil the bowl first to keep from sticking.
  3. Allow to rise in a warm place for about an hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  5. Divide dough in half and roll out each piece into a rectangular slab approximately 1/4 - 1/2" thick.
  6. Bake in preheated 500 degree oven on the top shelf until nicely browned. Flip over to the other side and do the same. Repeat with the second slab. I brush with a small amount of melted butter to keep soft. Cover with a tea cloth to keep warm until ready to eat.
