Libyan Bread with Harissa and Olives - خبز ليبي بالهريسة والزيتون

Mix all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.

Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

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

Shape each portion into a flat round disc about 1/2 inch thick.

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

Let the discs rest for 15 minutes while the oven heats.

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden.

Meanwhile, prepare the harissa by mixing harissa paste with lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil.

Chop black olives and mix them with cumin, coriander, and parsley.

Serve the warm bread with harissa and olive mixture on the side.

Enjoy the bread warm, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
