First Proofing
- Now cover the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Divide and shape the dough
- After 30 minutes, pull and stretch the dough from all four sides.Dip your hands in water to prevent any chance of dough sticking to your hands.
- Divide the dough into two equal halves.Shape each of them into round balls and keep it covered for 5 minutes.This will give some time for the gluten strands to relax.It will prevent the tendancy to rebound back while we shape the dough.
- After five minutes, flatten the dough ball to form a flat round disc of approximately 22 cm in diameter and 1 and 1/2 cm in thickness.Transfer the disc onto a parchment lined baking tray.
Final Rising
- Cover the tray with a greased plastic film.This will prevent the plastic film from sticking to the flat dough.Now rest for 25 minutes or until they puff up and rise.
- After 25 minutes, brush the top with egg wash.Withe finger tips, make dots or indentations with a diamond pattern on dough discs leaving an inch of space from the edge of circle.
- Now sprinkle the top with a mix of sesame seeds and nigella seeds.Now they are ready to go into the oven.
