7g easy blend dried yeast,
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
400 ml lukewarm water
Sift the flour, salt, cumin and coriander together into a bowl and stir in the sugar and yeast. Make a well in the center and pour in the oil and lukewarm water. Stir well with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together, then knead with your hands until it leaves the side of the bowl. Turn out onto a lighly flavoured surface and knead well for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Brush a bowl with oil. Shape the dough into a ball, put it in the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Lighly brush a baking tray with oil. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, know back with your fist and knead for 1-2 minutes. Divide the dough into eight equal pieces, shape each piece into a ball, then roll out a 8 inch rount. Cover the rounds with a damp tea towel and leave to rest for 2 minutes.
Heat a heavy-based frying pan and brush the base with oil. Add one dough round, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, until lighly browned on the underside. Turn over, re-cover the pan and cook for a further 2 minutes, until lighly browned on the second side. Remove from the pan and cook the remaining dough rounds in the same way.
