Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast 1 packet
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for brushing
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low with the dough hook for 2 minutes. Then increase speed to medium/low speed for 6 minutes
- Remove the dough and lightly grease the bowl. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough and divide into 10 equal pieces and reshape into small round balls. Lightly dust the dough balls with flour and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand for 20 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or another non-stick skillet over medium heat with olive oil.
- Roll out one of the dough balls using a rolling pin to a 7-8 inch circle and carefully transfer it to the skillet.
- Cook for 2 minutes or until the top surface is covered with bubbles, then flip and cook until the dough is lightly golden on the bottom, about 2 more minutes.
- Remove from pan and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while repeating with the rest of the dough. Serve with your favorite toppings or fillings.
