Step by Step Method

Step 1

Activate the yeast by combining sugar and yeast in a bowl, and add lukewarm water.

Step 2

Stir with a fork to dissolve.

Step 3

Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Sift flour and salt in a large bowl.

Once the yeast mixture is ready, pour it into the bowl with flour.

Step 6

Mix the ingredients to a dough.

Step 7

Place the dough onto a floured work surface.

Step 8

Knead thoroughly for 3-4 minutes to activate the gluten.

Step 9

Shape into a ball.

Step 10

Grease the mixing bowl and place the dough back. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise (30 mins in warmer countries or up to 2 hours in colder countries).

Step 11

Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl onto a floured work surface.

Step 12

Briefly knead.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Divide into equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Step 15

Roll each dough ball into a flat circle with a diameter of 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) and a thickness of about 5 mm (1/5 inch).

Step 16

Place onto parchment paper so it's easier to move them.

Add the breads on a cookie sheet or baking stone into the preheated oven and bake the bread for 6-8 minutes at 450°F until they have fully puffed in the oven.
