2. Add 2 and a half cups of the flour, the olive oil and the salt into the yeast mixture to form a soft dough.
3. Using the extra flour knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and leave to rise for 1 and a half hours.
5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and flatten into thick round disks and sprinkle with a little more flour.
6. Roll each disk into an round 8-9 inch disk that is 1/4 of an inch thick.
7. Warm a frying pan on an medium heat and drizzle with a little olive oil.
