Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
Bowl
2
Add the lukewarm water and olive oil and Knead about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth, pliable and doesn't stick to your hands.
⚙ KneadingBowlStand mixer
💡For yeast dough, use the windowpane test: a small piece stretches into a thin, translucent sheet without tearing, and that's the sign the kneading is done. Add flour only by the tablespoon, and only if the dough is still sticky after a few minutes: too much flour makes a tough dough.
3
Cover and Let rise 1 hour in a warm place, until the dough doubles in size.
⚙ ProofingPlastic wraporKitchen towel
💡Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot. The dough is ready when it has doubled, and a gentle finger press leaves a dent that fills back slowly; if it springs right back, wait longer.
To assemble
4
Divide the dough into the size of an apple balls and roll each ball into a round 10 mm thick.
Rolling pin
5
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the rounds and press them lightly into the dough.
6
Heat a heavy (cast iron is ideal) pan over medium heat, without oil.
⚙ Greased Flat PanStoveCast-iron pan
7
Cook each bread 4–5 minutes per side, until blackish spots appear. Serve hot with butter.
StoveFrying pan
💡The pan must be scorching hot before the first bread goes in: that way it puffs up and gets charred spots instead of slowly drying out.
