Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 cups flour, 2.25 tsp instant yeast, 1.5 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar.
Step 2
Add the 1.25 cups warm water and 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) with a baking sheet or pizza stone inside.
Step 6
Punch down the dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 7
Place the ovals on the hot baking sheet. Brush each with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and bake until puffed and golden, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 8
Serve warm, optionally brushed with melted butter and sprinkled with herbs.
