Ingredients:
1 tbsp (14 g) olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 c (256 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for sprinkling
1 tsp (5 g) kosher salt
165 g (scant 3/4 cup) lukewarm water
1 tsp (4 g) instant yeast
Directions:
Add salt, instant yeast, and flour into a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well combined.
Stir in oil and water until well blended. Use your clean hands to knead the mixture until it forms a sticky dough.
Add a bit of olive oil, then flip the dough and cover it with a damp towel. Let it sit in a warm area to rise for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Prepare the oven and turn the heat to about 550 degrees F. Put the baking steel in it.
Make 6 square cuts out of the parchment paper.
Sprinkle flour onto a flat surface, then lay the dough on it. Knead it a few times until it forms a ball. Slice it into 6 cuts and allow them to rise for half an hour.
Use your hands to flatten each dough and roll it to about a 6-inch circle.
Place them individually over the prepared sheets. Let them rise for additional 15 minutes.
Bake for 2 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove from the oven.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Place leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge or freezer. They can last up to 3 months if frozen.
Reheat in the oven for a few minutes.
