How to Make Captains Barbari Flatbread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the yeast mixture.
  3. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough in the bowl for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and knead for another 2 minutes.
  6. Lightly oil the bowl, place the dough back in and cover with plastic wrap.
  7. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a baking stone or baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
  9. Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions.
  10. Roll each portion into a roughly 10-inch oval shape.
  11. Carefully transfer the flatbreads to the preheated baking stone or baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds or nigella seeds (optional).
  14. Serve warm and enjoy!
