1: In a bowl, combine all ingredients except olive oil.
2: Knead until dough comes together (5-8mins).
3: Add in oil, knead until smooth (another 5-8mins). If too sticky, add 0.5 tbsp of flour at a time.
4: Form dough into ball, place back into bowl. Cover and let rise for 1.5-2hrs or until double in size.
5: Punch out gas, divide into 6 sections. Form each section into a ball. Cover and let rest for 20mins.
6: In a well floured surface, take one ball and roll into a flat pancake about 7-8” in diameter.
7: Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron over med-high heat until hot. Place onto skillet. Once it starts bubbling (about 2-3mins), flip, cook another 2-3mins, flip once more if needed, then remove from heat and lightly brush with olive oil (optional).
8: Repeat steps 6-7 with remaining dough balls.
