Gathering Ingredients
Plain Flour: 400 grams
Water: 220 milliliters
Instant Yeast: 6 grams
Sugar: 2 teaspoons
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Cumin: 1 teaspoon
Vegetable Oil: as needed
Mixing the Dough
STEP: Begin by mixing warm water with sugar and instant yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved.
STEP: Sift plain flour into the yeast mixture, then add salt and cumin. Knead the ingredients by hand until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Kneading and Rising
STEP: Grease your work surface and hands with oil to prevent sticking. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
STEP: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until it doubles in size.
Preparing the Pan and Dough
STEP: Grease a large pan with oil and transfer the risen dough into it.
STEP: Spread the dough evenly over the surface of the pan using your fingers. Cover the pan with a towel and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
Pan-Frying the Bread
STEP: Place the pan on the stove over low heat and cover it with a lid. Allow the bread to fry until golden brown on the bottom.
STEP: Once the bread comes off the bottom of the pan easily, flip it with the help of a plate and cook the other side until golden brown as well.
