Method

  1. Put the yeast, sugar, and salt in a deep bowl, stir, and leave for 10 minutes.
  2. Then add the flour and knead well; cover with plastic wrap and a clean cloth.
  3. Let the dough rest for 2 to 3 hours. When it has risen, flatten it by hand or with a rolling pin into medium-sized circles.
  4. Cut a small circle inside the larger circle of dough (as shown in the accompanying photos). Brush a little oil on the cake and let it rise again for about an hour before sprinkling a little sesame on top and placing it in the preheated oven.
  5. Bake the cake until it browns and puffs, about 12 minutes.
  6. This cake can be served with knafeh, za'atar, or cheese.
