Homemade Flat Bread

1 package of active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 cups of all-purpose flour (may need about half a cup more)
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 cup of water
a little olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Mix yeast, sugar, flour, and salt.  Add in water.

Knead dough into ball with hands until smooth and not sticky.  This is where more flour may be needed.

Place dough in a slightly oiled bowl and cover with light towel for one hour.  (I put a towel on mine and put the bowl in my van for an hour).

Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and knead it again.  Separate the dough into two equal pieces.  Rub some olive oil onto two pans: pizza or cookie sheets.  (I used one regular size pizza pan and one small cookie sheet.) Then pat and roll the dough out onto two pans.  Lightly brush a little olive oil over the rolled dough.  Spread with toppings and bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
