Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the granulated sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the surface of the water and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes. You should see bubbles forming and the mixture becoming frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. If you’re adding herbs, minced garlic, or cheese, fold them in at this stage.
Knead and Rise: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 2: Shape and Cook the Flatbreads

Prepare the Pan: Heat a skillet or a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to the pan and spread it evenly.
Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the rolled dough into the heated skillet.
Cook the Flatbreads: Cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The flatbread should have a slightly crisp exterior with a soft interior. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

Cool and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the flatbreads to a plate and keep them warm. Serve them alongside your favorite dips, or use them as a base for sandwiches or pizzas.

Maintain Medium Heat: To ensure even cooking and prevent burning, keep the skillet at medium heat.
Experiment with Flavors: Try adding different herbs, minced garlic, or cheese to the dough to customize the flavor of your flatbreads.
Storage: If you have leftover flatbreads, store them in an airtight container. You can reheat them in a skillet or a toaster for a quick refresh.
