Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Add yeast mixture and oil to the flour mixture, stirring until combined.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 8-10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to a high temperature, around 475°F (245°C).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Roll each portion into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack.

Bake until golden and puffed, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter or oil, if desired.

Serve warm with your favorite dishes.
