Tomato Cumin Bread
- 3 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 pound unsalted butter, softened
- 6 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, well drained
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Combine the flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt in a bowl, add the water and stir until the mixture forms a dough.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
- Place in a clean bowl, cover and let stand 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, puree the butter, the remaining salt, the tomatoes, the cumin seeds and pepper in a food processor.
- Set aside.
- Divide dough into 12 pieces.
- Place on a floured surface and flatten each piece with the palm of your hand.
- Cover all but one piece with plastic wrap and set aside -- do not stack.
- Roll out the remaining piece into a 5 1/2-inch circle.
- Spread with a rounded half-teaspoon of the butter mixture.
- Roll up tightly, like a jelly roll, making a long strip.
- Starting at one end, tightly coil the strip, like a pinwheel.
- Repeat with the remaining dough, refrigerating the finished ones on a baking sheet lined with parchment if your kitchen is warm.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Working in batches, cook breads until browned and cooked through, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
- Cut into quarters and serve hot.
