Pita Bread! (https://youtu.be/dmt4Ajeq7rU) He overflours while he's working - you don't need to add that much flour while working the dough.

  - Prepare the wet mixture:
    * 300mL warm water
    * 1 Tbsp dry active yeast
    * 1 tsp sugar
  - Prepare the dry mixture:
    * 500g of all-purpose flour
    * 1 tsp salt
    * 2 Tbsp olive oil
  - Pour the wet mix into the dry and mix.
  - Remove dough and tuck into a ball, adding flour as needed. Prove for two hours.
  - Lightly flour the dough, tuck into a ball and divide into 8 pieces
  - Tuck each piece into a ball, lightly flour, and prove for 20 minutes
  - Roll into a round shape and place in HOT oven for 1-2 minutes on each side. The final color you're looking for is pale white with a hint of brown spots forming. If you leave it in longer it crisps up but pita chips are also good :D
