1TeaspoonVegetable Oil
1TeaspoonSalt
1CupWarm Water
1TeaspoonYeast
1CupScallions (chopped)
4TablespoonSesame Seeds

Instructions

1.In a food processor, add flour, sugar, oil, salt, water, yeast. Blend until dough comes together and then let it knead for 2-3 minutes. Dough will be quite sticky. You can also do this by hand.
2.Lightly grease a large bowl. Gather dough and place into greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rest in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
3.Lightly flour a large flat surface. Roll dough out. Spread scallions across surface. Then, roll dough back up, with the scallions folded on the inside. Form the roll into a spiral. Carefully use the rolling pin on the spiral, rolling and flattening until it becomes a large round disc.
4.Sprinkle both sides with sesame seeds, so that the exterior has a sesame crust. Use about 2 tablespoons per side. Let dough rest for about 20 minutes.
5.Using an oversized pot or pan, add oil in a thin layer and preheat. Once oil is hot, slide your bread into the pot/pan. Cook each side for about 7 minutes on medium high heat until both top and bottom develop a brown crust and the inside is fully cooked. Slice and serve. Bread is best enjoyed warm.
