Mix the yeast , sugar with 100ml of warm water and stir , the mixture will start to foam after 5 minutes or so. In a separate bowl mix together the flour and salt add the oil and the yeast mix, and enough water to make a slightly moist dough. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and kneed for a five minutes. Place the dough in a oiled bowl and cover with cling film or a damp cloth, and allow to rise for about an hour.

Divide the mixture into roughly 12 equal pieces and shape into slightly flattened balls. Place onto a floured board or lightly greased tray and cover again with a damp or cling film and leave to rise for for a further 15 minutes. Gently lift the dough ball and place on the barbecue.

Turning a couple of times until the bread is nicely marked and well puffed up and become crusty on the outside.
