Ingredients:
400g white flour
50g gram (Chickpea) flour
30g dried yeast
1 tsp Nigella seeds
6 tbsp plain yoghurt
2 tbsp ghee or melted butter
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
180ml warm water
oil or ghee to coat
2 tsp each of garlic, sour cherries, dried apricots, sesame seeds, diced red onion
Method:
Dissolve the sugar in the warm water and add the yeast. After about 10 minutes this should begin to froth. If it does not discard and start again.
Meanwhile sift the salt, flour and nigella seeds into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the yoghurt, ghee and yeast mixture. Knead into a dough, shape into a ball then tip onto a floured surface and knead thoroughly for about 10 minutes.
Tip the dough ball back into the bowl, cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place for about three hours or until the dough has doubled in volume.
Knock the dough back then add the chopped sour cherries, sesame seeds, chopped apricots, diced red onion and garlic into the mixture. Knead well to make sure everything is integrated into the dough then cut into six equal-sized pieces. Pat into the typical pear shape then coat with oil or ghee and place on a baking tray.
Cover with a cloth and leave to raise for about an hour. At the end of this time pop into an oven pre-heated to 230C for about 10 minutes.
