Ingredients

  • 2 cups (260g) all purpose white flour.
  • ½ cup (65g) whole wheat flour, more for dusting.
  • 1 Tablespoon dry yeast.
  • ½ Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt , I used pink salt.
  • ½ to ¾ cup warm water to make it a sticky dough

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or your mixer bowl, add the first 5 ingredients and mix well.
  • Start adding water little by little until a sticky dough forms that does not come off the bowl easily.
  • Cover and let it rise for almost 1hour.
  • Preheat oven to the max (mine was 550F)
  • Place baking pebbles on a baking sheet and let it preheat in the middle section of your oven.
  • Dust a clean working surface with whole wheat flour.
  • Turn the dough into the surface and divide into 6 equal balls.
  • Take one ball and cover the rest with a plastic wrap.
  • Roll the ball into a 6 inch circle.
  • Take out the baking sheet from oven and carefully place the rolled dough on the pebbles.
  • Bake for about 2 minutes then turn the broiler on for about 1 ½ minute.
  • Take the bread out and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.

Notes

  • Some people like using pizza stone or a clay oven if you have it but I prefer the hot stones method.
