-
In large mixing bowl, stir together water, yeast and sugar until dissolved.
-
Add ½ cup flour and whisk. Let rest uncovered in location slightly above room temperature for 15 minutes or until bubbles form.
-
Mix in salt, olive oil and remaining flour until stringy.
-
Knead mixture in bowl until batter forms, around 1 minute.
-
Dust flat surface. Knead dough on surface for 2 minutes or until smooth ball forms. Cover with towel and let rest 10 minutes. Knead again a few minutes until slightly more moist.
-
In clean mixing bowl, place ball of dough and cover entirely with light coating of olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour until dough doubles in size.
-
Once risen, place dough on dusted flat surface and divide into roughly eight equal pieces; shape into balls.
-
Use floured rolling pin to flatten each ball into ¼-inch-thick circle. Lift and turn dough to prevent sticking to surface. (Note: Keep dough circles covered with damp towel while cooking individual pieces.)
-
Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, then drizzle in olive oil. Place one dough circle onto skillet and cook for 45 seconds or until bubbles form. Using spatula, flip and cook for 1 minute.
-
Repeat until all dough is used.
