   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4 1/2            tsp  active dry yeast -- or 2 envelopes
   1 1/2      teaspoons  sugar
   4 1/4           cups  bread flour
   1 1/2      teaspoons  salt

Greek

Ladopsomo is a type of Greek fry-bread that's puffy, light and crisp.

Active: 30 min
Total: 4 hr
Servings: 8 flatbreads

In a medium bowl, combine the yeast with the sugar and 1/4 cup of 
lukewarm water and let stand until foamy, 5 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup 
of the flour and let stand until very billowy, about 30 minutes.

Put the remaining 4 cups of flour and the salt in a stand mixer 
fitted with the dough hook. Add 1 1/2 cups of lukewarm water, the 
olive oil and the billowy dough and beat at medium speed until a firm 
but smooth and silky dough forms, about 10 minutes. Transfer the 
dough to a large oiled bowl, cover with a sheet of oiled plastic wrap 
and let stand until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough, transfer it to a work surface and divide it 
into 8 pieces. Pinch the dough into balls and transfer them, rounded 
side up, to a floured baking sheet. Cover loosely with oiled plastic 
wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.

In a large, deep skillet, heat 1" of vegetable oil until shimmering. 
Roll out each ball of dough to an 8" round. Working with 1 round at a 
time, fry the bread over moderately high heat, turning once or twice, 
until the bread is puffed and deeply golden, 2 to 3 minutes; 
carefully spoon hot oil over any pale portions of the dough for even 
browning. Transfer the bread to a paper towel?lined baking sheet. 
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve right away.
