Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Add yeast to the warm milk or water and stir it lightly. Keep it aside to prove. Mix sugar, flour, milk powder, salt, cardamom powder and nigella seeds well.

* Step 2

After 5 minutes of standing time, add the yeast mix to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter. I have taken instant dry yeast and therefore have added directly to the bowl with lukewarm Milk as required.

* Step 3

Make a smooth dough out of it. Cover and keep aside to double in volume for about 2 hours at least or as required depending upon the temperature at your place.

* Step 4

The quantity of milk or water added depends upon the quality of the flour used. Therefore add them accordingly. After 2 hours, punch the dough to release the excess air trapped inside and bring it onto the working surface.

* Step 5

Divide the dough into 3 or 4 parts. It becomes easier to roll them if done like this. Roll each into 1 cm thick disc. Cut out triangular shapes and set aside for another 30 minutes for second proofing.
