Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast and sugar. Pour in water little by little while stirring with a pair of chopsticks (or a fork). Knead with your hand until a smooth, elastic dough forms (see note 4)

  2. Cover the bowl with a wet kitchen towel. Leave to rise in a warm place until double in size. It will take about 40 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the room temperature.

  3. Take the dough out. Knead on a floured work surface until the dough goes back to its original size. With a rolling pin, flatten the dough into a rectangle shape (roll it as thin as you can. Dust with flour to avoid sticking). Brush oil on the dough. Sprinkle ground Sichuan pepper, salt and scallions on top. Roll the dough into a rope. Coil it to form a flat circle. Then roll the circle out into a 26-cm (10-inch) disk. Wet the disk with a little water. Sprinkle with sesame seeds then press them down gently.

Chef's Notes

1. This recipe is to make a 26-cm (10-inch) flatbread in a deep frying pan. If your pan is smaller, reduce the quantity of the ingredients proportionally. Or cook two breads instead.
2. The ideal flour water ratio may vary slightly depending on the brand of the flour and how you measure it (Measuring with cups is less accurate).
3. I use dried instant yeast (this is sometimes called “quick”, “fast action” or “easy blend” yeast) which doesn’t need to be frothed before using. You may use other types of yeast following the recommended quantity and mixing method.
4. You may use a stand mixer with a fitted dough hook. Put all the ingredients into the mixing bowl. Knead for 8 minutes on lowest speed. Alternatively, a bread maker with a dough cycle can help you to finish step 1 & 2 with ease.
5. It takes me about 10 minutes to cook both sides in a heavy, thick-bottomed pan. The time required varies depending on the quality of the pan and the heat level. Check the bread if uncertain.
