Instructions

  1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water and leave for 5 minutes, until it foams.
  2. Mix the flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture, the olive oil and the nigella seeds.
  3. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes to get a smooth, elastic dough, then cover and leave to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll them out very thinly, to about 2 mm thick.
  5. Prick the surface with a fork, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like.
  6. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat without fat and cook each bread for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until a few golden spots appear.
  7. Brush with melted butter as they come off the pan and serve straight away with cheese and herbs.

Variations and tips

Oven version. Spread the dough on a hot baking tray in the oven at 240 °C for 5 to 7 minutes.
