Activate yeast: In a small bowl, whisk together the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let stand for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

1. Form dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then pour in the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
2. Knead: Knead by hand or mixer for about 6–8 minutes until smooth and slightly sticky.
3. First rise: Brush dough lightly with olive oil, cover, and let rest in a warm place until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
4. Divide & rest: Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape into balls, cover, and rest for 10–15 minutes.
5. Shape: Flatten each ball into a round about 8–9 inches wide and ¼-inch thick.
6. Cook: Heat a nonstick or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Brush lightly with oil and cook each flatbread for 3–4 minutes per side until golden with charred spots.
