Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 ¼  teaspoons of active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1  ¼ cups warm water
  • 3 cups Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour
  • Cold water
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Olive oil for dipping
  • Zaatar for dipping

Instructions

  • Add sugar, yeast, salt, olive oil and warm water to a large mixing bowl and stir.
  • Gradually add in Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Flour until the dough begins to form.
  • Move dough onto a floured flat surface and knead for 5 mins until no lumps are left in the dough.
  • Place dough back into the mixing bowl (oil the bowl lightly so that the dough doesn't stick to it). Cover with a towel.
  • Put a full glass of water into the microwave and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
  • Move the glass into the corner of the microwave, put the covered bowl with dough inside, close the door and leave to rise for 45 minutes. This is a quick hack to rise the dough fast. Otherwise, let the dough rise on the counter for an hour and a half or until at least doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F or 200°C.
  • Put the dough on the counter and separate into tennis ball shapes. 
  • Using two fingers, make a hole in the middle of the circle then stretch it out into a large circle.
  • Dip the circles in cold water then cover completely in sesame seeds.
  • Place on a baking sheet and let it rest for 10 mins.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Brush generously with olive oil as soon as you take it out of the oven.
  • Serve with olive oil and zaatar for dipping.
