Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 2 -¼ teaspoon instant yeast I use instant
- 1- ¼ cups Water warm
- ¼ cup curds
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ cup olive oil you do not need all this
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add the maida and the wheat flour, sugar and yeast. Mix well.
- Make a well in the center and add salt and yogurt.
- Combine adding enough water a little at a time to make stiff dough.
- Turn out on floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Takes about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Shape into ball and transfer to a greased bowl.
- Turn the ball to grease both the top and the bottom of the dough. Cover with a cling film and let the dough double in size.
- Punch down and let the dough rise again until doubled.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200°C/400F. Grease your baking tray.
- Make 8 balls of the dough, cover with the cling film the 7 work with the 8th ball.
- Press the ball lightly then roll out on lightly floured surface to very thin circle.
- Brush the surface with olive oil and then sprinkle with the sesame seed.
- Transfer to the baking tray. I cut them up in strips you can leave them as it is.
- Bake for about 6-8 minutes or until bread appears dry, lightly browned and blistered!
Notes
- For Vegan avoid the curds, use water instead to knead the flour.
- I found that the seeds did not stick well. So, I used my rolling pin on the dough after I sprinkled the seeds.
