How To Make Laffa Bread

Ingredients
 

• 7 cups bread flour plus an additional 1/2 cup as needed
• 1 package dry rapid rise yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 cups warm water

• Put the flour, yeast , sugar and salt in the bowl and mix them properly. Add the oil and water to the mixture and dough them until the dough becomes very smooth. You can also use dough mixer or can dough by hand.
• Now, place the dough in an oiled mixing bowl and put it in plastic wrap so that it settles well.  Dough will become slightly springy and  soft and now turn dough out onto a floured work surface and form into a 10-12 balls.
• Preheat the grill pan to medium. Now, sprinkle a small amount of flour on a work surface and top of a dough ball; gently pat dough ball flat with your fingers, forming a flat, round bread about 1/4 inch thick. Let dough round rest for 5 minutes. Do the same with remaining dough balls.
