The Famous "Khobiz Ch3ir" - Barley Bread

Mix barley flour and salt in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Shape each portion into a round flatbread, about 1/2 inch thick.

Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each flatbread, pressing them gently into the dough.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
