Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c water, room temperature
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 c bread flour
1 c whole wheat bread flour
1 tsp anise seed
2 tsp bread machine yeast
olive oil for brushing
1 tsp sesame seeds

Steps:

  • 1. Add water, sugar, salt and oil to bread machine.
  • 2. Add both flours to bread machine 1/2 cup at a time, leveling off each 1/2 cup with a knife before adding.
  • 3. Sprinkle anise seed over the flour. Make a well in the flour taking care not to reach the water and add yeast to well.
  • 4. Process on dough setting. When done, spray a large baking sheet with cooking oil. With floured hands, remove dough to baking sheet. Cut in half and form to balls. Press each balls down into circles approximately 1/2" thick.
  • 5. Spray dough with cooking oil, cover with a damp towel and place in a warm spot away from direct sun for 30 minutes. The cooking oil spray will help keep the towel from sticking. Preheat oven to 375.
  • 6. After dough has risen, prick all over with a fork, lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • 7. Place on the center shelf of your oven and shut the door. Wait a few minutes and then place a small cast iron pan with cold water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Bake another 15-20 minutes depending on your oven. Remove when nicely golden but not brown.
