- For the Kesra: In a small bowl of 1/4 c. of the hot water, stir in the yeast and sugar. Stir lightly till yeast begins to dissolve. Allow mix to stand till it begins to bubble, about 10 min.
- In a standing mixer bowl, put flour and 1/3 c. of cornmeal. Make a well in the center and add in yeast mix, salt, and melted butter. Knead the bread and gradually add in remaining hot water till dough is smooth and elastic.
- Sprinkle baking sheet with extra virgin olive oil and then dust with cornmeal. Separate the dough into 2 balls of equal size and sprinkle sesame seeds proportionately over the loaves and flatten into round circles. Cover the doughs with a clean towel and let rise in hot place till doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prick the top of each dough with a fork all over. Bake for 10 min.
- Lower heat to 375 degrees and bake an additional 15 to 20 min or possibly till crusty and golden.

- Cut the eggplant into 1/4-inch round slices and sprinkle with salt, let sit in colander for 10 min till bitter juices are extracted.
- Rinse the slices, and toss with extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast the eggplant slices till they are tender and a little crisp.
- Mix flour and cornmeal and season with spices, to your taste. Coat each tomato slice with mix and heat butter in heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron). Add in the tomatoes and cook till golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
