Ingredients
- 300 cc lukewarm water
- 25 gr. fresh yeast
- 1 teaspoon grinded fenugreek seed
- 1/2 teaspoon grinded coriander seed
- 1/2 teaspoon grinded cardamom seed
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- 450 gr. flour or 225 gr. flour and 225 gr. whole wheat flour
- optional: a dash of white pepper, cayenne, ground ginger
Directions
Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water in a large bowl. Mix the egg and the spices. Add the flour little by little. Knead the mixture for 10 minutes on a floured table.
Allow the dough to rise, covered by a tea-towel, in a warm place. Knead the mixture again and create a round, flat bread (2 centimeters high) from the dough in the frying pan, Allow the dough to rise a second time in a warm place, until its volume has doubled. Decorate the bread with a knife or nails (see picture below).
Bake the bread in the covered frying pan for 10 minutes on a medium to low fire. Turn over the bread and bake it for another 5 minutes. Remove the bread from the frying pan and spread it with some water and butter. Serve warm or cold in wedges.
