- Make a sponge in a bowl or other container: stir together warm water (95–99°F / 30–37°C), the dry yeast, and the sugar until well combined. Let it sit for a while, until foam appears on the surface. Sift the flour into a deep bowl and add the salt. Once the sponge is bubbly, pour it into the flour, add a little vegetable oil (sunflower or olive), and knead a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands. Dust the finished dough with flour, cover it with a clean kitchen towel so it doesn't dry out, and set it in a warm spot for about 40–50 minutes. In that time the yeast should double the dough in size. Punch it down and knead it briefly, working in a little more flour. Then divide it into 3 equal parts and roll each into a ball. Dust the work surface with flour and, using a rolling pin, roll a ball of dough into a round about the size of the pan you'll cook the flatbreads in. Heat a small (8–9 inch / 20–22 cm) nonstick skillet over high heat. Lay a rolled-out flatbread in the dry pan — no oil or fat. Fry it over medium-high heat on one side for 3–4 minutes. As soon as golden-brown spots appear, carefully lift and flip it. Fry the other side until golden, then transfer to a plate. Cook all the flatbreads one at a time, stacking them on the plate. Once they're all done, cover them with a clean towel and let them rest for about 5 minutes — this makes them even softer. Store the flatbreads at room temperature in a sealed bag so they don't dry out. Enjoy!
