Step 1
In a bowl sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and stir to dissolve.
Step 2
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of flour a little at a time and stir about 1 minute
Step 3
This mixture is called sponge. Let it rest for a minimum of 10 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Step 4
(this is a good time to make your tahina sauce - instructions below.)
Step 5
Sprinkle salt over the sponge and stir in oil
Step 6
Add in more flour a little at a time until the dough is too stiff to stir. Turn it out onto a slightly floured surface and knead 8-10 minutes until smooth & elastic.
Step 7
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and place in a warm place to rise (about 1 and 1/2 hours).
Step 8
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it in half. Divide each half into 4 equal pieces and flatten each piece into a circle less than an 1/4 inch thick.
Step 9
While you allow the circles to rise again (covered), preheat your oven to the highest setting.
Step 10
On a pizza stone (preferred) or baking tray in the middle rack, place as many dough rounds as you can comfortably fit on it (leave a few inches space between each round).
Step 11
Bake for a few minutes until the bread has puffed up like a balloon.
Step 12
Serve warm with Tahina, YUM!
Step 13
Mix all ingredients with a whisk until smooth.
