Prepare the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the Dough:

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.

Let It Rise:

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Dough:

Punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a round or oval loaf, or divide it into smaller portions for flatbreads.

Cook on the Stovetop:

Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with oil or butter. Place the shaped dough into the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

Flip and Finish:

Carefully flip the bread and cook the other side for another 6-8 minutes, until the bread is cooked through. Tap the bread gently—it should sound hollow when done.

Cool and Enjoy:

Remove from the skillet and let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Serve with butter, jam, or your favorite spreads.
