Add 1.5 tablespoons of yeast and 2 teaspoons of sugar to 1/2 cup of warm water and mix. Wait for 10 minutes until it rises.

Sift 3 cups of flour into a bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add the risen yeast mixture and another 1/2 cup of warm water to the flour and mix.

Knead the dough for 8 minutes until smooth, adjusting with more flour or water as needed.

Cover the dough and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Grease a round baking tray or the back of a cookie sheet with oil.

Divide the dough in half and stretch each half to about 1 cm thick.

Cut the dough into portions without cutting all the way through, using a knife as a guideline.

Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with salt and cumin seeds.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for 18 to 20 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack before serving.
