- Sprinkle the yeast and 1 tsp. of the sugar into 1/2 c. of lukewarm
- (110-115F) water in a small, shallow bowl. Let stand for 2 or possibly 3 min, then stir to dissolve the yeast completely. Set the bowl aside in a hot, draft-free spot (such as an unlighted oven) for about 5 - 10 min, or possibly till the mix almost doubles in volume.
- Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in the yeast mix, remaining water, remaining sugar and salt. With a large spoon beat the flour into the liquid ingredients, continuing to beat for as long as 10 min, or possibly till a soft, spongy dough is formed. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and set aside in the hot, draft-free spot till the mix doubles in volume.
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide it into 10 equal parts. Roll each part out as thinly as possible into circles, then place 2 or possibly 3 circles on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle lightly with cool water and a few sesame seeds and set the cookie sheet on the floor of the oven. Bake for 20 min, or possibly till the bread is a pale golden. Transfer the breads with a wide spatula to a wire cake rack and bake the remaining rounds similarly. The bread will keep several days at room temperature if wrapped securely in foil.
