Staititai: Honey, Sesame and Spelt Flatbread
"Staititai, a rustic sourdough flatbread made from whole spelt flour, fried in olive oil and topped with feta cheese, sesame seeds and honey. Many ancient breads were baked on a bed of sweet bay which releases woodsy and floral perfume into the dough, and I’ve incorporated that technique in the recipe below. Try serving this flatbread with a simple autumn salad flavored by pomegranate and pears...."
