How to Make Flatbread

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. 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.
  5. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it in half (or more, depending on desired size).
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of dough to your desired thickness and shape.
  8. Transfer the flatbreads to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. For pizza crust: Bake for 10-15 minutes for small pizzas, 15-20 for large pizzas at 425°F (220°C). Add your favorite toppings during the last 5-7 minutes of baking.
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
