Lebanese Flat Bread
2 1/2 cups warm water
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 tablespoon salt
6 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Pour warm water into a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water. Stir until
dissolved. Add salt. Gradually add 6 cups flour and oil, kneading constantly,
until dough is smooth and elastic. If dough sticks to your hands, add more flour.
Place in a large, greased bowl. Turn dough to grease all sides. Cover with a
dry cloth towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1
1/2 hours). Punch down gently.
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease baking sheets.
Divide dough into 24 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Place on a floured surface. Sprinkle tops lightly with flour and cover with
a dry cloth towel. Let rest 15 minutes.
Roll out each portion of dough to a 6-inch circle. Place on prepared baking
sheets. Bake for 10 to12 minutes or until bread puffs.
