Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
Add the oil, then gradually pour in the lukewarm water while kneading until you get a soft dough that no longer sticks to your fingers.
Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Deflate the dough, divide it into 4 balls and flatten them into discs about 1.5 cm thick.
Prick each disc with a fork, then let them rest for 15 minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden on top.
Let cool slightly on a rack before serving.
