1

Start by using a mixer to combine the ingredients.

2

Add 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour to the mixer.

3

Add 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

4

Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1/2 cup of warm water to the mixture.

5

Mix for one minute until it forms a sticky ball of dough.

6

Transfer the dough to a well-floured board and shape it into a ball.

7

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

8

Preheat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat.

9

After resting, cut the dough into four equal pieces.

10

Shape each piece into a ball, using flour if sticky.

11

Roll each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.

12

Test the pan's heat by sprinkling water; it should sizzle when hot enough.

13

Place the first rolled flatbread onto the ungreased pan.

14

Cook for about one minute until bubbles form, then flip it over.

15

Cook the other side for another minute until browned.

16

Repeat for the remaining flatbreads, wiping out any burnt flour from the pan as needed.
