==Method==
# '''day 1 evening, stage 1 sponge.''' Mix stage 1 sponge ingredients by hand till incorporated and ferment at room temperature overnight, 10-12 hours. The sponge should be very bubbly and have a clean sour smell and doubled in volume.
#'''day 2 morning, stage 2 sponge.''' Dissolve the yeast and honey in warm milk then stir in the stage 1 sponge and flours until blended. Cover and ferment at room temperature until bubbly and visible expanded - about 45 minutes.
#'''day 2 morning, final dough.''' In a stand mixer combine the stage 2 sponge, flours, salt and flaxseed. Use the paddle at low speed (kenwood 2) to mix until fully developed, 4-5 minutes.
#'''divide and roll.''' Divide into 12 125g pieces and roll into a ball.
#'''coat.''' Mix the coating ingredients (rye flour and sesame seeds) and coat each ball with 2-3 Tbsp of the mixture, then press into a flat disc.  
#'''roll out and bake.''' Preheat the oven to 220℃ with baking stones (or sheet pans - I might try a flat griddle pan) for at least an hour.  Cook in batches. For each batch, roll out the discs to 25cm diameter and about 3mm thick. Cut a hole in the centre. Transfer to oven using a peel, or baking parchment, and bake 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool for an hour or two and thread on a broomstick and dry further suspended horizontally between two chairs for 1-2 days.
