Follow these steps to prepare your herb-filled Khobz flatbread:

Preparing the Dough

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.
3. Combine Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms.
4. Add Herbs: Incorporate the chopped fresh herbs into the dough, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.

Kneading and Rising

5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Shaping and Baking

7. Divide the Dough: Punch down the risen dough to release air. Divide it into equal portions (about 6-8 pieces, depending on how large you want each flatbread).
8. Shape the Flatbreads: Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about ¼ inch thick.
9. Final Rise: Place the discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rest for another 30 minutes.
10. Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Optionally, sprinkle sesame and nigella seeds on top of each flatbread for added flavor and texture.
11. Bake: Bake the flatbreads for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.
12. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
