Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Stir the yeast and sugar into the warm water and leave 10 min, until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the foamy yeast mixture and 2 tbsp of the olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead until the dough is smooth and springy and no longer sticks to the bowl, 10 min by hand or 7 min with a dough hook.

  4. 4

    Rub a clean bowl with the remaining oil. Turn the dough in it, cover and leave in a warm spot until doubled, 1-1 1/2 hours.

  5. 5

    Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line two baking trays with parchment.

  6. 6

    Divide the dough in two. On a floured surface, roll each piece into an uneven oval about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick.

  7. 7

    Lift the ovals onto the trays, cover loosely and rest 15-20 min.

  8. 8

    Press your fingertips into the dough all over to make dimples. Brush with water and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

  9. 9

    Bake until golden, 15-20 min. The bottom should sound hollow when tapped.

  10. 10

    Cool on a rack. Serve the same day, torn into pieces.
