Mix 6 cups of all-purpose flour in a bowl.

Add 3 teaspoons of salt and 6 tablespoons of sugar to the flour and mix well.

Open a packet of yeast and add it to the flour mixture, mixing thoroughly.

Add 6 tablespoons of olive oil to the mixture, which is 1 tablespoon per cup of flour.

Gradually add 2 cups of warm water to the mixture, checking consistency.

If the dough is too dry, add an additional 1/3 cup of water.

Mix the dough until all dry flour is absorbed and the mixture is well combined.

Cover the dough with a dish and let it rise in the sun until fluffy.

Dust a pan lightly with flour to prevent sticking.

Shape the dough into logs and place them in the pan.

Cook the bread on a fire, flipping it regularly to ensure even cooking.

Check for doneness by pressing the sides; if it doesn't leave a dent, it's done.

Remove the bread from the heat and dust off excess flour before serving.
