Ingredients
For the dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 250 grams
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant dried yeast 8 grams
- ¾ cup + 1 Tablespoon warm water 200 ml
- 2 Teaspoons olive oil 15 milliliters
- 2 teaspoons white granulated sugar 11 grams
- 1 teaspoon salt 6 grams
For the garnish
- 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds 8 grams
- 2 teaspoons nigella seeds 9 grams
- 1 egg beaten, for glazing
Instructions
- Mix and proof the dough. Add the instant yeast, warm water, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly. Add the flour and the salt to the yeast mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until there is no visible flour left. There is no need to knead the dough. The dough will be very wet and shaggy. Drizzle some oil on top of the dough. Using a bench scraper, shape the dough into a rough ball making sure that the entire dough ball is covered with a thin film of olive oil. Cover the bowl and place in a warm place. Proof for 1 - 1 ½ hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Shape and proof the dough again: Place a piece of parchment on a baking tray. Pour the dough from the large bowl onto the parchment paper. There is no need to flour the parchment or the dough as the olive oil will make it very easy to manipulate the dough. Cut the proofed dough in half. Shape each piece into a round shape with your hands or a rolling pin until the dough is about 1 inch thick. Cover the shaped dough with a towel. Proof for about 45 minutes. Note: Begin preheating the oven to 480°F after 30 minutes of proofing.
- Make a design on the bread. Using your middle three fingers, dent the top of each dough circle in a circle about an inch from the edge. Make a diamond pattern inside each circle by making dents first in straight parallel lines across the top, then making lines that crisscross to make the diamond pattern. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the bread with the egg wash. Sprinkle the top with white sesame seeds and nigella seeds. Note: Press lightly when making the design so that you do not deflate the bread.
- Bake the bread. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown. If you prefer a darker color bread, turn off the oven and let the bread brown for about 5 minutes.

Notes
-
- Allow sufficient time for the dough to rest for enhanced flavor.
- Use parchment paper to shape the dough since the dough is quite sticky.
- Don't add more flour as this will make the dough less fluffy.
- Press lightly when making the design so that you don't deflate the bread.
-
Substitute warm milk for warm water if you prefer an even softer bread.
