Authentic Traditional Lebanese Flat Bread

Begin by dissolving the yeast and sugar in the warm water in a bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In another large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and slowly pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Use a spoon to mix the ingredients together until a dough starts to form.

Once the dough has formed, knead it in the bowl for about 5 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a little bit of flour. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Once the dough is well-kneaded, cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

When the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to heat up.

Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll each one out on a floured surface until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Place the rolled out dough onto the heated baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 5-6 minutes or until they begin to puff up and turn golden brown.

Remove the bread from the oven and quickly wrap it in a clean kitchen towel to keep it soft.

Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining dough. Serve the Lebanese bread warm with a classic hummus dip or as a side to your favorite Lebanese dishes.
