How to Make Flat Bread Or Khoubiz

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a small bowl, combine warm water, olive oil, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle (about 8-10 inches in diameter).
  8. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  9. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Bubbles will form on the surface as they cook.
  10. Stack the cooked flatbreads on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.
  11. Serve warm with your favorite dips or as an accompaniment to your favorite meal.
