Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon dried active yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 cup warm water, about 110˚F
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed while kneading
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup clarified butter or vegetable oil, plus 1 teaspoon

Directions

1. In a glass-measuring cup, combine the yeast and sugar. Add the water and stir well. Let rise until foamy, about 5 minutes. Sift together the flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast mixture and oil into the center. Mix together with your fingers until a smooth dough forms, working in a small amount of additional flour as needed. Knead for three minutes.

2. Oil a small bowl with the remaining butter or oil. Place the dough into the bowl, turning to coat, and let rest until doubled in size, about one hour.

3. Preheat the oven to 400˚F.

4. Divide the dough into six pieces and gently roll into six circles on a lightly floured surface. Bake on a baking stone, or a lightly greased baking sheet, until just golden brown and puffed, about 12 minutes.
