In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Start by mixing it in with a spoon, then use your hands to form a rough dough.
Add the olive oil and continue kneading the dough in the bowl. Once it begins to come together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a small amount of flour as needed, but avoid adding too much.
Place the kneaded dough in a clean, lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has doubled, preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions for large flatbreads or 8 portions for smaller ones.
Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into an oval or round shape about 1 cm thick.
To decorate, sprinkle nigella seeds and sesame seeds over the top of each flatbread and press them lightly into the dough.
Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on the preheated baking stone.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free Fladenbrot warm or at room temperature.
