Khubz (Arabic)

Mix the flour and salt thoroughly and place in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, crumble in the yeast, and pour a little lukewarm water over the yeast. Stir until the yeast dissolves. Gradually add the remaining lukewarm water and knead well. Knead the dough until it is no longer sticky. Pour the oil into a bowl and toss the dough in it until it is well coated with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size (1-2 hours). Knead briefly again, divide into 8 balls, and roll them out into thick, round flatbreads. Place on a lightly floured cloth, cover with another cloth, and let rise for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 300°C (500°F). Heat the greased baking sheet in the oven. Once the temperature is reached, place the loaves on the sheet, place in the oven, and reduce the temperature to 250°C (480°F). Bake for 5 minutes without opening the door. Then turn the loaves over and bake for another 3 minutes. The loaves will be soft and white, with a pocket in the center.
