ingredients
directions
- Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (or milk). Sprinkle with sugar, cover, and let rise.
- In a large pan mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and butter/shortening.
- Gradually add the lukewarm water, mixing and kneading until dough is smooth and tender.
- Cover with a blanket and put in a warm place for two hours or until dough rises.
- Cut dough into pieces 2" to 2 1/2" in diameter. Form into balls by tucking the dough underneath the balls to make them round and smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes between blankets. (This is where I spread the olive oil under the dough, and coated the ball with olive oil as well. I also left it uncovered. ).
- This dough is now ready to be used with various fillings. :).

Thanks for posting this recipe!<br/>I used a mix of "normal2 flour and durum flour (half half, total 1 pound) and more than one cup of water (about 1 1/3). With this dough I prepared 9 balls and as they doubled the volume I prepared 8 small lahmacun (turkish pizzas) and with the last ball I prepared small breads.<br/>All this came out delicious and soft. My family foud the dough really good too.
