Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus extra for cooking)

Instructions

Prepare Yeast Mixture

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Combine Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead Dough

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

First Rise

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

Shape Laxoox

Punch down the dough and divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball out into a thin, round flatbread about 1/8 inch thick.

Cook Laxoox

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly oil it. Cook each flatbread for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until small bubbles form and the surface is lightly browned.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
