Venezuelan Arepas With Sesame, Chia, And Flaxseeds

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 cup Harina P.A.N. (pre-cooked cornmeal flour found in the ethnic isle at most grocery stores. Other brands or instant polenta work too, but this is our favorite one)
• 1/3 cup toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon canola oil

1. Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F.
2. Pour the warm water into a bowl. Add the flour, sesame seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and salt. Stir gently to combine. Let it soak for about 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Knead by hand until a smooth dough is formed (when there are no lumps left) and let rest for 5 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 8 balls, then shape each ball into a thin patty of about 1 cm. Similar to the shape and consistency of burger patties.
5. Heat the oil in a cast iron pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat, Place the arepas onto the frying pan over medium heat until it's light golden brown and a thin crust has formed, about 5 minutes per side. Flip the arepas with a spatula and cook on both sides.
6. When all arepas have formed a crust, transfer to an baking tray and bake until cooked through and no longer doughy inside, about 20 minutes.
