Ingredients:
*Makes 4-6 breads*
500g plain flour
250ml water
7g instant yeast
75ml milk
1 teaspoon salt
75ml Greek yogurt
1 tablepoon sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
100g sesame seeds
1 egg, for brushing
Directions:
Warm the water in a saucepan over a gentle heat- it should be slightly warmer than the body temperature. Add the milk and warm it too. Place the warm water and milk in a bowl and stir through the yogurt. Add the yeast and stir. Add all the remaining ingredients, except the egg and sesame seeds, and begin to combine it together into a dough. Knead for about 5-8 minutes.
When the dough feels ready, it should have a slight bounce when you touch it. Turn it into a well-oiled bowl and cover it. Leave it to rise for about 2 hours in a warm place.
Knock back the air from the risen dough, then cut it into 4-6 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, place them on lightly oiled baking trays and leave to rise for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven on its highest temperature - about 220°C degrees.
Lightly flour the worktop. Roll each piece of dough into a teardrop shape that is not too thin.
Cut out a circular shape from the narrower top end of each bread (You can use a small upturned cup)
Brush egg wash over the surface.
Sprinkle all over with sesame seeds.
Lay the breads on a baking try and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
Serve warm with a pot of mint tea.
