Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 cup flax meal
  • 3 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup untoasted sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix together yeast and warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes in a warm place until the yeast mixture is foamy.
  2. Add the flax meal, bread flour, and 1 cup of the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, mixing well until you have a rough, shaggy dough that starts to drag on the sides of the bowl.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. When it is done, you will have a messy-looking sponge. Don't worry, it is not supposed to look pretty at this point.
  4. Add the sesame seeds, salt and oil, mix well and then add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until you have a nice stiff dough. Sometimes you may need only 2 cups of the flour, and at other times, you will need the full 3 cups.
  5. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead well for 8-10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
  6. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise int a warm spot for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat a cast iron griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Punch down the dough and divide in half. Section it into 8 pieces. Roll out each ball of dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  9. Lightly coat the griddle with cooking spray.
  10. Place a round on the griddle (mine can hold two at a time). Let it cook for 15 second, then flip it. Let it cook for about a minute until bubbles start to form, then flip it back over and let cook another minute.
  11. Repeat with remaining dough.
  12. Wrap the breads in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
