Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water and leave for 5 minutes, until it foams.
- Mix the flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture, the olive oil and the nigella seeds.
- Knead for 8 to 10 minutes to get a smooth, elastic dough, then cover and leave to rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll them out very thinly, to about 2 mm thick.
- Prick the surface with a fork, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like.
- 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.
- Brush with melted butter as they come off the pan and serve straight away with cheese and herbs.
