Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 200 ml Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Nigella seeds
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water while mixing with your hand or a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough mixture and continue kneading for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Punch down the dough to release the air and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Step 6
Roll each portion into a ball. Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a round, thin disc about 6 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Lightly brush the surface of each disc with the remaining olive oil.
Step 8
Sprinkle a mix of sesame seeds and nigella seeds over each disc and press lightly so the seeds stick.
Step 9
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 10
Place a disc on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread puffs up and has light brown spots.
Step 11
Remove from the skillet and stack the cooked flatbreads on a plate. Cover with a clean cloth to keep them warm.
Step 12
Repeat until all flatbreads are cooked. Serve warm.
