A unique, chewy bread with a honeycomb texture, often served with stews or as a snack with tea.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semolina flour
- 1 tbsp yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 ¼ cups warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Preparation (1.5 hours):
- Make dough: Mix yeast, sugar, and ¼ cup warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a bowl, combine flours, salt, yeast mixture, remaining water, and oil. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth.
