Arabic Flatbread

Ingredients

• 500g All-purpose flour
• 7g Dry yeast
• 1 TL Salt
• 2 EL Olive oil
• 300ml Warm water
• 1 TL Sugar
• 1 EL Sesame seeds
• 1 EL Nigella seeds

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, dry yeast, salt, and sugar. Add the lukewarm water and olive oil, then knead everything into a smooth dough until it is elastic and no longer sticky. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
2. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, until its volume has doubled.
3. Transfer the risen dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest under a cloth for another 10 minutes.
4. Roll out each dough ball into a round flatbread about 0.5 cm thick. Prick several times with a fork and optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds and nigella seeds.
5. Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium to high heat. Bake the flatbreads one by one in the hot pan. Flip after about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up.
6. Serve the finished flatbreads immediately or keep them warm wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.
