Place the yeast and sugar in a bowl and add 1/4 cup warm water.Stir to dissolve. In a few minutes, the water will turn frothy. (If it doesn't froth, your yeast has gone bad)

To the yeast, add all remaining dough ingredients except the oil. Knead lightly to form a dough. Brush the dough with olive oil, cover and keep in a warm place for about one hour. In about an hour the dough will have doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 400.

Place the dough on a clean work surface and knead it well for about 5 to 7 minutes. Divide the dough into 2 portions. Form each half into a long rectangle either using your hands or a rolling pin. Dust some flour on the dough if it is too sticky while rolling. Place the dough rectangles on a cookie sheet.

Bake flatbread in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bread is lightly golden.
