  2. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let this stand for about 10 minutes, until it turns frothy.

  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir just until a soft dough forms.

  6. Add an additional 1/4 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary to reach the right consistency.

  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead it for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and pliable.

    Turn the dough

  8. Lightly oil the inside of a large bowl. Place the dough inside it, cover it with a damp cloth, and set it aside in a warm location. Let the dough rise for about an hour or until it doubles in volume.

  10. Put them on a floured baking sheet, cover the dough balls with a towel, and allow them to rise again until they double in size, about 30 minutes.

  11. Heat a cast iron or heavy non-stick skillet over high heat. Use a pastry brush or paper towel to coat it with a light layer of oil.

  12. Roll or press a dough ball into a thin circle.
