Christmas is the feast commemorating the birth of Christ. It is fixed in the liturgical year as December 25th and is preceded by four week of fasting called Advent.Unleavened Brown Bread
- 3½ cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1¾ cups lukewarm water
- Additional flour for kneading
- Sesame oil for brushing
Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the water and mix to form dough. Place the dough on the counter and knead with additional flour until smooth and not sticky. Cover the dough with the large mixing bowl directly on the counter. Allow to rest for 2 hours. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and form into balls. Roll the dough balls into 8 circles on a lightly floured surface. Keep the dough covered with the bowl or plastic wrap when you are not working with it. Brush the flat loaves with a little sesame oil. Bake these on baking sheets and bake for a few minutes until the edges curl up.
