## 👩🍳 Instructions
### 1. **Prepare the dough**
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
### 2. **Knead the dough**
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
### 3. **Shape and cook the bread**
Punch down the dough and divide it into small portions (about golf ball size). Flatten each into a round shape. Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush with olive oil. Cook each dough round for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed.
### 4. **Make the garlic sauce**
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, mayonnaise, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley or chives if desired.
### 5. **Serve warm**
Serve the pan bread hot with a generous side of garlic sauce for dipping. It’s perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
