Add 1/2 cup plain yogurt and salt to the yeast mixture, then add 2 tablespoons olive oil and mix.

Add a little olive oil on top of the dough, cover with cling film and a kitchen towel, and place in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

5

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 pieces.

Dust the working surface with flour, flatten the dough, and roll it out with a rolling pin.
