Sesame Flatbread

Sesame Flatbread is a simple yet flavorful bread made with whole wheat flour and toasted sesame seeds. The flatbread has a soft, pliable texture and a subtle nutty flavor from the sesame seeds. It is quickly cooked in a skillet, making it a convenient and versatile option for pairing with dips, or using as a base for wraps and sandwiches.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 60 grams whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 40-50 ml warm water

Procedure:

• In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, sesame seeds, salt, and baking powder
• Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add warm water to the mixture, a little at a time, until a smooth and pliable dough forms. You may not need all the water, so add it slowly.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until it is soft and elastic.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 1/8-inch thick.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place one flatbread in the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the flatbread is cooked through. Repeat with the second flatbread.
• Allow the flatbreads to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy as a side with dips, or as a base for wraps and sandwiches.
