Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pk Dry yeast
1 1/2 c Warm water
1 t Salt
2 c All-purpose flour
2 c Whole wheat flour
Toasted sesame seeds

Sprinkle yeast into warm water in large bowl and stir
until dissolved. Add salt. Combine all-purpose and
whole wheat flours and add enough to yeast mixture to
make stiff dough. Turn out on floured surface and
knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Shape
into ball. Place in greased bowl and turn to grease
top. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1
1/2 hours. Punch down and let rise again until
doubled, about 30 minutes. Divide dough into 8 pieces
and roll each out on lightly floured surface to very
thin circle about 9 inches in diameter. Place, one at
a time, on baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame
seeds. Bake at 400F 5 to 6 minutes, or until bread
appears dry, lightly browned and blistered. Run palest
side under hot broiler until lightly browned. Cool and
store in dry place.
