Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl; set aside until foamy, 5 to 15 minutes.

    (If the yeast doesnt bubble up, discard the mixture and start again with fresh ingredients.)
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, combine the chick-pea flour and salt and add the yeast mixture.
  4. 4
    Gradually sprinkle in cold water 1 tablespoon at a time to make a soft dough that easily pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  5. 5
    Knead the bread for 10 minutes on a lightly floured work surface.
  6. 6
    Return the dough to the bowl, cover, and set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 hour.
  7. 7
    Place 2 baking sheets in the oven.
  8. 8
    Preheat the oven to 425F.
  9. 9
    Divide the dough into 4 balls.
  10. 10
    Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface into an 18-inch long oblong, between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick.
  11. 11
    Divide the cumin seeds among the 4 breads.
  12. 12
    When the baking sheets are very hot, remove, sprinkle each lightly with chick-pea flour, and place 1 loaf on each tray.
  13. 13
    Bake each bread until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
  14. 14
    Repeat with the remaining 2 loaves.
  15. 15
    Serve warm or at room temperature.
