Makes: 12 Servings (1 each)
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1-1/3 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Combine yeast, water, and sugar in large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add oil, 3 cups flour, and salt, mixing until smooth. Mix in enough remaining 1 cup flour to make smooth dough.
Knead dough on floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; let stand, covered, in warm place until double in size, about 1 hour. Punch dough down.
Shape dough into 12 balls; let stand, loosely covered, 30 minutes (dough will not double in size). Roll balls of dough on floured surface into rounds 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Place rounds, 2 to 3 inches apart, on cookie sheets; let stand 30 minutes.
Bake breads, 1 pan at a time, at 500-F until breads are puffed and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
