In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Combine water and olive oil and pour into the bowl while mixing.

Continue mixing, gradually adding more flour until a dough forms.

The amount of flour you need will vary, so only add enough to prevent sticking.

Place on a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth ball.

Place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place until doubled.

Once risen, gently deflate and divide into two equal portions.

Pat one portion into a rectangle.

Roll up from the long end and pinch seams together. Repeat with other portion.

Let rise on a baking sheet until puffy. When ready to bake, slash tops with a serrated knife.

Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Brush with butter if desired and let cool.
