Mix the flour with the salt & sugar in a large bowl. Big enough to get two hands into it!
Make a well in the middle and drop the yeast in there
Pour some of the tepid water into the well using your hands work the water and the yeast into the flour
Keep adding the water, bit, by bit, until you have a ball of smooth shiny dough
Place onto a floured worktop & with a touch of olive oil, knead, beat slap for at least 10 minutes
Place into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with cling film and store somewhere warm for 2-3 hours
Make a paste with the sesame seeds, herbs and olive oil. Set to one side
After the 3 hour proving period, preheat the oven to 180oc
Tip the risen dough onto a slightly oiled/ surface and knead again for another 2-3 mins
Separate into two pieces and place each on a pre-lined /oiled tray
shape into two flat circles approx. 2cm thick. Rest for a further 10 mins
Spread the paste evenly over the two breads & sprinkle coarse sea salt. I used coarse olive flavored Sea salt.
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.
Cool on wire racks
I always make two because I like to keep on in the freezer for when I have no time.
Slice, share, dunk and dip, but most of all, enjoy!
