Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

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

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 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).

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each out into thin rounds.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each round, if desired.

Place the rolled dough on a baking stone or sheet.

Bake until lightly browned and puffed, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
