Steps （6 steps）
Mix 200g flour and 3g salt, add 120ml warm water (35-40℃) and 3g yeast, knead into smooth dough, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
Make roux: Place 60g flour in a bowl, heat 30ml oil until smoking, pour into flour and stir quickly to form a paste; let cool.
Roll rested dough into a 0.5cm thick rectangle, spread roux evenly, roll up into a log, cut into 4 equal pieces, pinch ends, stand upright and press flat.
Roll each piece into a round disk, brush with oil, dip in sesame seeds, gently roll with a rolling pin to adhere seeds.
Heat a pan over medium heat, place flatbreads, cook 2 min until bottom golden, flip and cook 2 min; then transfer to preheated oven at 200℃ and bake 8 min until crispy.
Remove and cool on a rack; serve hot to enjoy the crispy exterior and soft layered interior.
Tips
Using hot oil for the roux creates distinct layers; sufficient resting time is crucial; combining pan-frying and baking ensures crispy exterior and soft interior.
