Steps

• Mix the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.

• Stir the mixture until it forms a rough dough.

• Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface.

• Roll out each portion into an oval shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts on each side of the dough, leaving a strip in the center uncut.
• Gently stretch and pull the cuts to create openings in the dough.
