Lebanese Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 2 teaspoons yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 cups bread flour divided
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons salt

Steps

1. Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Add ½ cup flour and let it sit for 15 minutes until foamy.

2. Mix in oil, salt, and 2 cups flour. Knead until smooth, adding reserved flour if needed. Rest dough for 10 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a large skillet inside.

4. Roll dough into 8 balls, then into ¼-inch-thick 8-inch circles, adding flour as needed.

5. Moving quickly, add enough dough balls to fit on the skillet and bake until puffed and golden, about 3-5 minutes per side.
