Activate the yeast by mixing it with sugar and warm water; let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until bubbly.

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, the activated yeast, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Knead the mixture by hand until a consistent dough forms, adding more water or flour as needed to achieve the right texture.

Divide the dough into small portions and shape each into a ball, then flatten slightly.

Score the top of each loaf with a sharp knife to create a decorative pattern.

Cover the shaped dough and let it rise until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 240°C (about 464°F) and place a pan with water in the oven to create steam.

Bake the marraquetas in the preheated oven until golden brown.
