Sponge Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 packs instant yeast (20 grams)
Remaining Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cup warm water
Directions
- In a bowl of a stand mixer, add all sponge ingredients. Mix for 1 minute, cover and let it rest for 10 minutes until sponge develops. If a sponge doesn’t develop, start over, your yeast is no good.
- Add remaining ingredients and let it mix until a dough forms.
- Lightly flour your work surface, knead and form into a bowl.
- Cover and let it rest for one hour until it doubles in sizes.
- Cut down into equal sizes, and form balls, making sure to pinch all sides downwards to lock some air.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten the balls into discs, place on a try and bake in a preheated oven at max. You can also make it on a skillet.
Optional
- If you have a pasta making machine, you can roll the balls into discs on it on setting #1. Only feed the machine once, and make sure to flour it slightly first.
- You can add corn meal to your tray or skillet. Less than ¼ tsp per bread, it will give a different texture and elevate your recipe into something new.
