Mix together the salt, water, and flour.

Knead the mixture until soft, about 15 minutes.

Form the dough into two equal size balls and let them sit for about 20 minutes.

Toss out the dough into a very thin sheet.

Sprinkle melted butter on both sides of the dough.

Fold the dough into a long rope shape and tie it into a knot.

Tuck in the loose ends to form a rough shape of a ball and let it relax for another 15-20 minutes.

Push one dough ball on the table to make it larger or use a rolling pin.

Place the dough on a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal and add black seeds on top.

Cook the bread in a preheated 500°F oven for about 4 minutes.
