Pour the flour into a bowl, add the yeast and mix, then pour in the lukewarm water.
Also add the salt and oil, knead well with your hands until you form a smooth and homogeneous dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour.
After the resting time, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is about 0.4 inches thick.
With a pastry cutter (or a glass) cut out small circles.
Next, cook them on a non-stick pan turning them over on both sides.
Cut in half and fill with cheese and cold cuts.
