  • Quick and Easy: Ready in about 30 minutes.
  • Versatile: Perfect for dips, spreads, or as a side.
  • Flavorful: The nutty flavor of sesame seeds enhances every bite.
  • Customizable: Adjust seasonings to suit your taste.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds

How to Make Sesame Seed Flatbreads

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
  2. Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and warm water. Mix until a dough begins to form.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about ¼ inch thick.
  6. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each disc, pressing lightly to adhere.
  7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer the flatbreads to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining pieces.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your water is warm but not hot to prevent killing the yeast if you decide to add it for a fluffier texture.
  • Resting the dough helps relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out.
  • Feel free to add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Herbed Flatbreads: Add dried herbs like oregano or thyme to the dough for an aromatic twist.
  • Cheesy Flatbreads: Incorporate shredded cheese into the dough for a savory kick.
  • Spicy Flatbreads: Mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes for a heat boost.

What to Serve With It

  • Hummus or baba ganoush for a creamy dip.
  • Olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a simple, flavorful pairing.
  • A fresh cucumber and yogurt dip for a refreshing contrast.
  • Salsas or chutneys for a zesty kick.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. Reheat in a skillet over low heat for a few minutes or in a toaster oven until warmed through.
