| Sugar | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |

Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast.
- Stir the mixture gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the activated yeast mixture.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the bowl.
- Stir the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- If the dough is too sticky, you can add more flour as needed.
- Let the Dough Rise:
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Bread:
- Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and shape them into balls.
- Cook on the Stovetop:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
- Flatten each dough ball into a disk shape and place it on the skillet.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the stovetop bread is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Slice the bread and enjoy it warm with your favorite toppings or dips.
