Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix in olive oil and salt, then gradually add flour until fully incorporated.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into discs.
