The amounts below will make you four pitta sized breads.
200g strong white flour, plus extra for dusting
1/3 tsp fast-cation dried yeast
1/2 tsp fine salt
170 mls of tepid water
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 tbsp paprika
salt and pepper
small handful of chopped parsley leaves
Combine the flour, yeast and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the water and oil bit by bit, massaging it between your fingers.
Knead the dough firmly for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Set aside in a covered bowl (a tea towel will do) and leave for at least 45 minutes.
Shortly before you want to eat, preheat the oven to 230oC.
Knock the air out of the dough by giving it a quick knead. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and roll out into circles on a floured surface. Grease a baking sheet with some olive oil and place the rolled out breads onto it. Sprinkle the paprika, sesame seeds and salt and pepper.
Bake for 6-7 minutes, the bread with bubble up and begin to color when ready.

Love the photo about your bookshelf, it´s always fun to take a peek at other people´s books...ummm...may I ask you what the thick black and red one is, I think it´s the second from left on the lower shelf ?
I might try this flatbread recipe, I must say though that I don´t have any luck with either flatbreads or Naan bread :(

Hi VS,
Lovely to 'see' you. That cook book is called the Secrets of the Red Lantern: Stories and Recipes from the Heart by Pauline Nguyen, it has some wonderful recipes and also scripts about her family's life in Vietnam and how they left.
As for the flatbread, I usually am not a bread maker at all, but this was so so easy.
