A few months ago I used my breadmaker to make dough for a focaccia bread for the first time. It was so much less work than kneading it myself and I wondered why I had waited so long to try out another setting. So, did I become a master baker, making dough every week and making all manner of interesting breads as a result? I think you know the answer.
This month, with the motivation of Fresh from the Oven and flatbreads as the theme, I decided it was time to use the dough setting again. I didn’t add lots of fancy flavours and spices, just nigella seeds, which I love in any bread. The nigella seeds gave the bread a definite Indian flavour and they tasted lovely with the sour chickpeas and marinated chicken that I wrote about the other day.

Ingredients – Makes 8
250g strong white flour
150ml water
1 tbsp vegtable oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp nigella seeds
How to Make Nigella Seed Flatbread
1. Put all the ingredients into the breadmaker and set on the dough setting.
2. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Heat a dry frying pan.
3. Flour the work surface. Roll out the pieces of dough to about 3mm thick. Put 2 in the frying pan.
4. After a couple of minutes the bread will begin to puff up. Turn them over and cook for another minute.
5. Repeat with the rest of the pieces of dough.

Looks delicious, but I am not sure what a nigella seed is?? Is like flax seeds??

They are delicious. Nigella seeds are also called black onion seeds. I don’t think they’re like flax seeds.

I love to make bread at home and I think I make flatbreads the most. I’ve never thought of adding nigella seeds into its dough though! Sounds like a great idea! I’ll definitely add some next time!
