Soft Homemade Skillet Flatbread

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Activate the dough
    In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make the dough
    Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead
    Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let it rise
    Cover and let the dough rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Divide and shape
    Divide the dough into 6–8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball, then flatten into circles (about ¼ inch thick).
  6. Cook in skillet
    Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and golden spots appear.
  7. Keep soft
    Stack cooked flatbreads and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft.
