Ingredients
- 5 to 5−1/4 cups flour
- 4 tsp salt
- 4 Tbsp. corn oil
- 3−1/2 to 4 cups water
- 2 packages active dry yeast
Instructions
- 1
Mix flour, salt, oil and instant yeast (to be mixed into the flour like baking powder) together and work in the water.
- 2
The dough should be firm and come off the sides of your mixing bowl.
- 3
Turn onto a lightly floured table and knead thoroughly, about 10 minutes. Knead each half by itself and mix them up again.
- 4
Divide dough into small balls a little larger than a squash ball, which you roll between your palms, applying pressure.
- 5
Put these balls under a dry cloth.
- 6
Once all the dough is divided up, take the first ball and roll it out into a small circle with thickness of not more than 1/4
- 7
Place these circles onto a floured wooden board (use wood, as plastic material will make dough stick to it and bread will not bake with a hollow middle).
- 8
Cover the circles with a dry cloth and let them rest for about one hour.
- 9
Pre−heat oven on the highest possible heat, place these circles upside down (the top becomes the bottom on the bakins sheet) onto a lightly greased baking sheet and bake them only until very lightly colored.
- 10
The bread will rise in the oven into big blown up balls, at which time they are more or less baked.
- 11
Place them on a wire rack, and when cooled a little, press them together.
