Lagana Bread: Paul's Greek Flatbread Recipe | Paul Hollywood's Easy Bakes

This week Paul's baking one of his favourites, Lagana Bread. A delicious Greek flatbread, amazing warm with a Greek salad, it's one you must try yourself! See below for the full instructions and ingredients. For this and many more recipes, make sure you pick up a copy of Paul's latest book, Bake: geni.us/bakeUK
500g strong white bread flour
7g fine salt
10g fast-action dried yeast
5g ground mastic (masticha)
30ml olive oil, plus extra for oiling
275ml-320m water
100g black sesame seeds
15g caraway seeds
200g sesame seeds
Put the flour, salt, yeast, ground mastic and olive oil into a large bowl and pour in two-thirds of the water. Stir together for 1 minute to combine, then incorporate the remaining water and bring the mixture together to form a dough. Fold a corner of the dough into the middle, rotate the bowl 90° and repeat. Continue this folding and turning action for 2 minutes then tip the dough out onto a lightly oiled surface and knead for 10 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. (If using a mixer fitted with the dough hook, allow 2 minutes on slow and 7 minutes on medium speed.)
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a plastic bag and leave to rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours until doubled in size.
Have ready a large baking tray. Tip the dough onto a lightly oiled surface. Roll into an oval shape.
Tip all of the seeds into a large bowl and pour a little boiling water over them - just enough to moisten but not cover them entirely - then give them a stir. Pick up the lagana and press each side firmly into the seeds to coat well all over.
Place on the prepared baking tray. Cover loosely with a plastic bag and leave to prove for 1 hour.
Heat your oven to 210°C/Fan 190°C/Gas 6½. Bake the lagana for 25 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

If you are looking for video inspiration, it would be awesome to learn how to make Doner kebab bread. You don't see this bread much unless you find a legit doner kebab which is really hard in the US. Anyways food for thought.

Is it me or did he do differently in the video from what he wrote in the caption? I totally missed the olive oil part when I was just watching the video...
