1

Put the yeast in lukewarm water, stir, and leave for 10 minutes to activate.

2

In a bowl, combine bread flour and salt, then make a well in the center.

3

Add the activated yeast water into the well and mix to form a smooth dough.

4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5

Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

6

Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface, knock it back, and divide it into four pieces.

7

Roll each piece into a ball, then press it out with your hand and roll it to about 5 inches in diameter.

8

Place the rolled dough on a lightly floured baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.

9

Prick the bread all over with a fork, then cover with lightly oiled cling film or place in a plastic bag to rise for about 20 minutes.

10

Mix together the diced onions, mint, coriander powder, and cumin powder in a small bowl.

11

Brush the risen dough lightly with olive oil and sprinkle the onion and spice mixture on top.

12

Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C fan (200°C normal) for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
