Kulcha With Celtuce

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, the baking powder, and the baking soda. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the yogurt, water, and oil until the dough starts to come together. Add additional water, a tablespoon at a time, as needed until the dough comes together (2 to 3 tablespoons more). Using your hands, knead the dough in the bowl until it is mostly smooth, soft, and tender without being sticky. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the shallot with the green onions, serrano, ginger, sesame seeds, fennel, cumin, oregano, and celtuce.
  3. Unwrap the dough and cut into eight pieces. Roll out one piece of dough into an 8-inch (20-centimeter) round. Spoon one-eighth of the shallot mixture onto the center of the round, then season the mixture lightly with salt. Roll up the round into a cylinder. Now, starting at one end, coil the cylinder into a spiral reminiscent of a snail shell. Flatten the spiral gently with your hand and then roll out the filled dough into a 7-inch (17-centimeter) round.
  4. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons ghee in the skillet, then carefully lay a kulcha in the pan. Decrease the heat to medium and cook, turning once, until the flatbread is puffed and charred in spots, about 4 minutes total. The dough should be golden and cooked through and the outside of the flatbread should be crispy. Add 1 tablespoon additional ghee to the pan to cook the second side and raise the heat slightly if the flatbread does not become crisp. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough and shallot mixture. Serve warm.
