Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 250 grams
• warm water - 150 ml
• milk - 50 ml
• active dry yeast - 7 grams
• sugar - 5 grams
• salt - 5 grams
• olive oil - 30 ml
• sesame seeds - for sprinkling

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, warm milk, and olive oil.
3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
4. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
6. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round flatbread about 1-2 cm thick.
7. Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 10-15 minutes.
8. Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
