Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
How to Make Savory Sesame Flatbreads
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sesame seeds, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. Pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Roll out each dough ball into a flat circle, about ¼ inch thick.
- Cook each flatbread in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly puffed. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with additional sesame seeds while cooking.
- Remove from the skillet and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve warm.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast without killing it.
- Don’t skip the resting time for the dough; it helps develop flavor and texture.
- Adjust cooking time based on your skillet’s heat to avoid burning the flatbreads.
Easy Variations
- Swap out sesame seeds for poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning for a different flavor profile.
- Add minced garlic or onion powder to the dough for an extra kick.
- Top with grated cheese during the last minute of cooking for a cheesy flatbread.
What to Serve With It
- Hummus or baba ganoush for a Mediterranean twist.
- Tzatziki sauce for a refreshing dip.
- Spicy salsa or guacamole for a Mexican flair.
- Olive oil with balsamic vinegar for a simple dip.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet for a minute on each side or pop them in a toaster oven until heated through.
