Flatbread Dough
Makes 2 # dough enough for 4 large servings
¼ oz active dry yeast(2 packets)
4 ½ to 5 ½ cups all purpose flour plus more for dusting
2 cups warm water(105-115 degrees F)
2 teaspoons salt

Directions
1. Whisk together yeast, 2 tablespoons flour, and ½ cup of water in a small bowl. Let mixture stand for 8 – 10 minutes, until it becomes foamy and yeast is activated. ( If this doesn’t happen, yeast might is bad. Start over)
2. Stir together salt and 3 cups of flour in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and remaining 1 ½ cups of warm water and stir until smooth. Next stir in 1 cup more flour.(up to ¾ cup more) If the dough sticks to your fingers, stir in just enough flour, a little at a time, to make the dough come away from the bowl.
3. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface with floured hands, lightly reflouring work surface and your hand when dough becomes too sticky, until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic, about 10 minutes
4. Divide the dough between 2 balls, then generously dust balls all over with flour and put each in a medium sized bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size. About and hour.
5. Roll out dough and brush with olive oil. Grill both sides over medium heat and set aside.
