This traditional round bread from Kazakhstan is made with yeasted dough shaped with a thin center and raised edges, then baked at high heat in a tandoor or oven. Topped with nigella and sesame seeds, it is served hot at brunch.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Activate the yeast

10 min

Dissolve the dry yeast and sugar in warm water and let stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.

2

Knead the dough

10 min

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead for 10 minutes to make a soft dough.

3

Let the dough rise

90 min

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 90 minutes, until doubled in size.

4

Shape and bake

18 min

Shape the dough into a round, pressing the center thin and leaving the edges thick. Sprinkle with nigella and sesame seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 230°C / 445°F for 18 minutes.

Reminder

Cover the dough with a damp cloth while it rises; a dried surface can crack and form a hard crust during baking. Press the center thin with your fingers and leave the edges thicker, or the bread may not rise properly. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and sesame.
