Instructions
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- 2
Stir in the olive oil, salt, and 1 cup of the flour to form a batter. Gradually mix in the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
- 3
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- 4
Place a baking stone or a heavy inverted baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 500°F (260°C).
- 5
Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Form each into a smooth ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball out into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Let the circles rest for 10 minutes.
- 6
Carefully transfer 2-3 dough circles at a time onto the hot baking stone. Bake for 3-5 minutes until they puff up completely like balloons. Remove from the oven and immediately wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.
