1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
2 teaspoons salt
3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Do not let rise.
Divide dough into 6 pieces; knead each for 1 minute, then roll into a 5-in. circle. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 500°.
Place upside down on greased baking sheets. Bake until puffed and lightly browned, 5-10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
