Ingredients

  • 30g Caster sugar
  • 7 g instant yeast
  • 160g tepid water
  • Salt xxg
  • Olive oil for kneading & finishing
  • 6 tablespoons of sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons of dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
  • Coarse (Olive) salt
Instructions
  1. Mix the flour with the salt & sugar in a large bowl. Big enough to get two hands into it!
  2. Make a well in the middle and drop the yeast in there
  3. Pour some of the tepid water into the well using your hands work the water and the yeast into the flour
  4. Keep adding the water, bit, by bit, until you have a ball of smooth shiny dough
  5. Place onto a floured worktop & with a touch of olive oil, knead, beat slap for at least 10 minutes
  6. Place into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with cling film and store somewhere warm for 2-3 hours
  7. Make a paste with the sesame seeds, herbs and olive oil. Set to one side
  8. After the 3 hour proving period, preheat the oven to 180oc
  9. Tip the risen dough onto a slightly oiled/ surface and knead again for another 2-3 mins
  10. Separate into two pieces and place each on a pre-lined /oiled tray
  11. shape into two flat circles approx. 2cm thick. Rest for a further 10 mins
  12. Spread the paste evenly over the two breads & sprinkle coarse sea salt. I used coarse olive flavored Sea salt.
  13. Move into the preheated oven for 15 mins. If you have a bread on the 2nd shelf, take the top one out of the oven and shuffle the lower bread on the top shelf. Bake for approx. 4 more mins.
  14. Cool on wire racks
  15. I always make two because I like to keep on in the freezer for when I have no time.
  16. Slice, share, dunk and dip, but most of all, enjoy!
