Servings: 6 breads
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 1 -1.5 Cup Lukewarm water
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp Sugar
- Oil to grease the bowl
- Sesame seeds of Onion seeds for sprinkling on the bread
- 2 tbsp Milk (For brushing the obi Non)
- 1 tbsp Butter (optional - For brushing the obi Non after baking)
Instructions
To make the dough
- Add about 1/2 cup of lukewarm water , sugar, yeast and mix everything together. Let the yeast bloom.
- If the yeast does not bloom after 10 minutes, discard and start again.
- Once the yeast mixture has bloomed, in a big bowl or your stand mixer, add in the whole wheat flour, salt, yeast mixture and mix everything.
- Knead the dough by adding water slowly. You should require a total of 1 cup , plus a bit more or less depending on the flour. Knead the dough until it is springy and forms a smooth elastic ball.
- Cover and keep it aside for at least an hour and half or until double in size.
Shaping Obi Non
- Once the dough has double in size, punch the air out of the dough and knead it for a minute.
- Divide the dough into equal size portions. I was able to make 6.
- Roll each dough into circular ball first, then flatten it using your palm, to form a disc. Then using your thumb, make a wide deep indentation in the center of the dough.
- Be careful not to poke a hole just an indentation, so that it is thicker on the sides and thinner in the center.
- Repeat the above steps for the remaining dough balls, and cover and rest them on a pizza tray for 25-30 minutes.
Baking the Obi Non
- Preheat the oven to 200 C. Just before baking make patterns/indentation in the center with the help of a fork.
- Brush milk on all the dough balls and sprinkle with sesame or onion seeds. Very lightly dab them, so that they stick to them. Be careful not to deflate them.
- Bake them in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread after 12-15 minutes. The bread should be golden brown and should sound hollow.
- Once baked apply some butter on all the Non's and let it cool on a wire rack.
- Enjoy this delicious bread with a bowl of soup.
