Using a spoon or the paddle of your stand mixer, start adding the flour 1 cup at a time, adding between 2 ½ cups to 3 cups, you do not want a stiff dough.

Cover and let it rise till double, about 1 hour.

Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat.

In the meantime, roll out each ball into 6-inch diameter. Place the rolled-out dough into the skillet and cook until brown on the bottom and bubbles have formed. Flip the dough and cook till there are golden spots formed. Remove and set on plate, cover with towel to keep warm, brush with butter or olive oil and herbs if you wish to.
