Mix flour, salt, and 1 tbls of sugar together in bowl. In a separate small bowl mix 1/2 tbls sugar, yeast, and warm water and allow to proof for 10 minutesIn mixer fitted with dough hook attachment pour in yeast + water mixture followed by the flour mixture and lastly the oil.Mix for 5 minutes and check dough. What you are looking for is for the dough to spring back when you push on it. If it does not spring back then mix for another 3 minutes. Check again. Keep mixing until youâ??ve developed enough gluten for it to spring back (dough is not sticky. It should feel extremely soft and pliable like play dough)Warm oven to 200 degrees for 1 minute and turn off. Transfer dough to greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and place in the warmed oven until doubled in size (about 1 hour)Punch down the dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Flatten out each dough ball into a circle with about 1/8 inch thickness.Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan (recommend cast iron) and cook for a few seconds on each side before removing and setting aside to continue making the rest.
