Add 600 grams of all-purpose flour to a clean bowl and make a well in the middle.

Add 50 ml melted butter, 55 grams caster sugar, a pinch of salt, 2 teaspoons cardamom powder, 30 ml vegetable oil, and 200 ml water into the well.

Add 10 grams of activated yeast to the mixture.

Mix all ingredients together to form a dough and knead it on the tabletop until smooth.

Place the dough in a bowl drizzled with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and cover with a wet muslin cloth to proof for 30 to 35 minutes.

After proofing, drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil on a baking tray.

Flatten the dough to form a circular shape on the tray and make six equal slits on the rolled dough, creating designs with a fork.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
