Mix 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 cup of warm water to create a starter.

Cover the starter and let it sit overnight for 8-12 hours.

In a large bowl, add 3.5 to 4 cups of flour and pour in the starter mixture.

Mix gently with a spoon and then knead for about 10 minutes until the dough comes together.

Add salt during the mixing process and then add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and let it rise for about 1 hour.

Shape the dough into rounds, making some with holes in the center (losh) and some without.

Cover the shaped dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 525°F (275°C).

Bake the breads for 15-20 minutes, checking for a golden color.
