Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in 100 ml of lukewarm water and leave for 5 minutes, until the mixture foams.
  2. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl, then add the yeast and oil.
  3. Gradually pour in the rest of the water while kneading until you have a soft, non-sticky dough, 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour somewhere warm, until the dough has doubled in size.
  5. Divide into 8 balls, flatten them into discs about 3 mm thick and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 250 °C with a baking tray or stone inside, then bake the discs for 3 to 4 minutes, until they puff up and turn lightly golden.

Variations and tips

Without an oven. On a very hot pan over medium-high heat, cook each disc for 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning it as soon as it puffs up.
