Lagana

Lagana (gr. Λαγάνα) is a traditional Greek bread that is made when the great Lent starts, before Easter. Very easy to make!!

Ingredients

• 1 lbs 5 oz all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Olea EVOO
• 1 Tbsp Olea sea salt
• 1 pinch of sugar
• sesame seeds
• 300 ml warm water (not hot)
• 1 pack of dry instant yeast

Instructions

1. Mix yeast and sugar in a bowl with some of the water. Make sure all the yeast is dissolved and let it set for 5 minutes.
2. Pour the flour in a big bowl, and in the middle pour the yeast mix, water (where previously you have dissolved the salt), olive oil.
3. Start working the dough with a spatula.
4. When is well mixed continue working it by pulling it and folding it again. The longer you do it, more fluffy the lagana will be.
