Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Warm water - 150 milliliters
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Active dry yeast - 1 teaspoon
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Sesame seeds - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour blend. Stir until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round flatbread.
8. Place the shaped flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and lightly press them into the dough.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
