Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp salt
  • scant 1/1/4 cups luke warm water
  • for topping
  • 4 tbsp finely chopped onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste (optional)
  • 1/8 chili flakes (optional)
  • note; if you do not have any fresh mint on hand, then add 1 tbsp dried mint. use the freeze-dried variety if you can as it has much more flavor.

Directions:

  1. Lightly flour 2 baking sheets. Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Cream the yeast with a little of the water, then mix in the remainder.
  2. Add the yeast mixture to the center of the flour and mix to a firm dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and leave to rise, in a warm place, for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divde into 8 equal pieces and roll into 5-6 inch rounds. Make them slightly concave. Prick all over and space well apart on the baking sheets. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the chopped onion, ground cumin, ground coriander and chopped mint in a bowl. Brush the breads with the olive oil for the topping, sprinkle them evenly with the spicy onion mixture and bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve Warm
