Ingredients
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- ¼ cup warm water
- 1 cup semolina flour
- 2 cups unbleached flour or whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2⅓ cups water
- 2 tbsp semolina flour for the countertop
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a cup or glass, mix the yeast, sugar, and water; stir, and set in a warm place until the yeast is bubbly and doubled in volume.
Meanwhile, mix the flours, salt, and sesame seeds in a large bowl; slowly add the water, ⅓ cup at a time, then the yeast mixture.
Knead the dough by hand for 5 – 6 minutes until it forms a complete ball; remove from the mixing bowl.
Knead the dough by hand again for 2 minutes or so.
The dough should have a smooth, elastic consistency.
Cut the dough into two pieces.
Cover each piece with moist, hot towels and let rest for 2 minutes or so.
Spread some semolina flour on a clean work area and start making a ball with one piece of the dough.
Do the same with the other piece.
Cover with moist, hot towels and let stand for 3 minutes on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle some semolina flour and start flattening the dough to form a disc about 5 in diameter.
Do the same with the other ball.
Cover with moist, hot towels and let rise 1 hour in a warm place.
With a sharp knife make incisions on the top and bake 15 minutes.
Lower the heat to 325f and bake 25 – 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven.
The bread is done when it is nicely brown over the top and sounds hollow when you tap the bottom.
Cover with a towel and let cool.
Cut the bread just before serving.
