Ingredients
 

  • 250 g Flour
  • 75 ml Milk lukewarm
  • 75 ml Lukewarm water
  • 0,5 Pck. Dry yeast
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix the milk, water, yeast and sugar until everything has dissolved. Put the flour in a bowl. Add the oil, salt and yeast mixture and knead everything well. Shape the dough into a ball. Drizzle your hands with a little olive oil, rub the dough with it and put it back in the bowl. Cover the bowl well and let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 90 minutes. Its volume must have doubled at least.
  • Preheat the oven to 230 °. Line 2 trays with baking paper. After rising, knead the dough briefly again. Depending on how big the loaves should be, shape them into balls. Then roll them out around 5 - 6 mm thin. The size then results from it. I had 5 pieces with a diameter of about 13 cm.
  • Place the cakes on the baking sheet and prick several times with a fork (this should not allow them to rise too much). Then oil lightly, sprinkle with salt and some black sesame seeds and bake lightly for approx. 8 minutes. Before serving, lightly oil both sides with your hands again, place in a not too hot pan and roast on both sides until they get the typical brown spots and are slightly cross on the outside. If the sesame falls off a bit, it is normal.
  • For serving, it is advisable to cut the flatbreads into small portions. You can bake the bread very well in advance, freeze it and toast it as needed.
