- This bread sees the light of day once a year, on the first day of the Greek Orthodox Lent, known as Clean Monday. It was originally an unleavened bread but, over the years, a little yeast has crept into the recipes. It's shaped like a rectangle with rounded corners, and is a fairly flat loaf.
- INGREDIENTS:
- * 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- * 1/2 cup of olive oil
- * 2 teaspoons of dry yeast
- * 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- * water
- * sesame seeds

Recipe Instructions
|
Preheat the oven to 355F (180C).
Sprinkle the yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Leave it for 30 minutes until it foams. In a large bowl, add the yeast-water mix, the oil, and flour, and mix with a wooden spoon until blended. If needed, add a little more warm water.
On a floured surface, knead the dough until it no longer sticks to your hands and is soft and malleable. Form into a flat loaf, like a rectangle with rounded corners. Final loaf height is about 1 1/2 inch high (after doubling in size and baking) so pat it quite flat. Cover with a towel and allow to sit until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. Brush lightly with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 355F (180C) for 30-40 minutes, until golden. |
