-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Dough:
2 cups semolina flour -- (11 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour --
(6 5/8 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup olive oil -- (1 7/8 ounces)
2 tablespoons King Arthur Easy-Roll Dough Improver --
(3/8 ounce), (optional, but recommended)
1 cup warm water -- plus
6 tablespoons warm water -- (11 ounces)
1 large egg white -- (reserve the yolk for glaze)
Glaze:
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup sesame seeds -- (1 ounce), for topping
Combine all the dough ingredients and mix and knead them together --
by hand, mixer, food processor or bread machine -- till you've made a
soft, pliable dough. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl,
turning once to coat, then cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise
for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until it's puffy and almost doubled in bulk.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased or floured work surface and
knead it briefly to expel the excess carbon dioxide. Divide the dough
in half, round each piece into a ball, and cover the balls lightly.
Allow them to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Flatten each ball and roll each out to a circle about 10" in
diameter, and 1/2- to 3/4" thick. Place the circles on a lightly
oiled or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Mix the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the
loaves with the glaze, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Let them
rise for 30 minutes, until they look puffy and have almost doubled in height.
Bake the bread in a preheated 400F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until
it's golden. Remove it from the oven, and cool on a wire rack. Serve
it with soup or stew, or salad. Yield: Two loaves, 6 wedges each.
Description:
"The following flatbread, a soft, spongy round topped with sesame
seeds, is perfect for soaking up the juices from a savory stew or a
warming curry."
