Instructions

All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flours, baking powder, cardamom, sugar, yeast, and salt using the whisk attachment. Or, mix by hand.
Switch out the whisk attachment for the dough hook attachment. Add the eggs and yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Drizzle in the oil while the mixer is running. Keep kneading until the dough is smooth and comes together into a slightly sticky ball. Add a little more all-purpose flour if the dough is too wet. You can also knead the dough by hand if you don’t have a stand mixer.
Take a large clean bowl and lightly oil it.
Gather the dough and place it in the oiled bowl.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and place it in a draft-free space, such as a turned-off oven or microwave. Allow the dough to rest and rise for approximately 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Divide the dough into 2 equal balls. Place 2 sheets of parchment paper, cut to fit 2 sheet pans, on a flat work surface. Lightly flour the parchment and place a ball of dough on each.
Roll or press the balls into 2 circles that are about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer the parchment paper and dough to 2 sheet pans.
Preheat the oven to 420°F.
While the oven is preheating, poke the dough about 20 times with the tines of a fork. Or, you can score the dough to make various designs to your liking. Brush the dough lightly with oil.
Sprinkle the white and black sesame seeds over the rounds of dough.
Place the pans in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the breads to a clean cutting board. Slice into 6 or 8 wedges and serve while warm.
