Instructions

Add all ingredients to your bread machine pan. Follow the specific order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer. Select the 'Dough' cycle. Press 'Start'. Once the bread machine's 'Dough' cycle is almost finished (about 10-15 minutes before it completes), preheat your oven. Set the oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Carefully remove the dough from the bread machine pan. Place it onto a surface that has been lightly dusted with flour. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small, round ball. Cover these dough rounds with a clean, damp cloth. Let them rest for 10-15 minutes to help the dough relax. Take one dough ball. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin circle, about 8 inches across. Repeat with a second dough ball. Place these two flattened dough circles onto a preheated baking sheet or baking stone. Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes. The bread should puff up and turn golden brown. Remove the baked bread from the oven. Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls, baking two at a time, until all loaves are cooked.
