- 200g/7oz plain flour
- pinch nigella seeds
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp plain yoghurt
- 2 tbsp milk
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 140C/275F/Gas 1.

- To knead the dough
- clench your hand into a fist
- wet your knuckles with a little water
- then press them repeatedly into the dough. Continue pressing and kneading until you have a soft
- pliable dough. It should take about ten minutes.
- Place the dough in a mixing bowl
- cover it with cling film and leave it in a warm place to rise for 10-15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four balls and place on a floured surface or board. Roll each into a long oval shape about 0.5cm/¼in thick. Don't roll them out too thinly or they'll turn out like crisps.
- Place them on a greased baking tray and put them in the centre of the oven for 10-15 minutes. They are ready when they have puffed up a little. They should be soft and crumbly
- not chewy. Serve fresh from the oven.
