Step 1: Over the warm water in a liquid measuring cup, sprinkle the yeast. Keep this aside for about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Place 3 c. (375 grams) of the flour, Parmesan, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Mix well until blended. Then, add 2 tbsp olive oil and mix well until incorporated. Over the flour mixture, pour the yeast water. Mix again until the dough shapes into a ball.
Step 3: Onto a floured surface, transfer the dough, and knead for approximately 10 minutes until you have a tight dough formed into a ball.
Step 4: In a bowl, drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil and transfer the dough to it. Cover the dough and allow it to rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until the dough doubles.
Step 5: On a floured surface, flip the bowl and allow the dough to fall. Into 2-inch or 5 cm pieces, cut the dough and roll each into balls.
Step 6: Into about half an inch (1 cm) thick and 5-inches (12 cm) wide circle shape, start forming the dough. Ensure the center of the circle is not too thin. Repeat the process with the rest of the dough.
