Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 packets dry yeast (or 0.5 oz fresh yeast)
- 2 cups warm water (approximately, adjust for a loose dough)
- Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
- Combine the flour, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add warm water and mix with a spoon until a loose, sticky dough forms.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then stir it again briefly. Allow it to rise for about 15–20 minutes, stirring gently 2–3 times during this period.
- Preheat the oven to 480°F (250°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired.
- Bake at 480°F for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 430°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden brown.
Optional Notes:
- For whole-grain alternatives, substitute half the flour with buckwheat or whole wheat.
