In a bowl, whisk the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add flour, olive oil, and salt (and optional garlic or seasoning) to the mixture. Mix on low speed until combined.
Knead the dough for 6-8 minutes until it is soft and slightly sticky.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (246°C).
Punch down the dough and shape it into two flatbreads, about ¼ inch thick.
Transfer the flatbreads to a baking sheet and poke holes in the dough. Brush with olive oil.
Add your favorite toppings to each flatbread.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is browned.
Slice and serve warm. You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
