Slightly Spicy Indian Style Flatbread
- one 14-oz tube pizza dough (Pillsbury thin crust works the best)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 teaspoon ground cumin
- 18 teaspoon garam masala
- 12 teaspoon sesame seeds (see prep note!)
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or a very light application of olive oil.
- (Or preferably, olive oil cooking spray.
- ).
- In a small bowl, first combine the olive oil with the ground cumin and garam masala.
- Add the sesame seeds to this baste-- I like to use 1/4 tsp each of regular toasted sesame seeds and black sesame seeds.
- You can find black sesame seeds at Indian grocery stores for really cheap, they're very flavorful and a nice sub for regular sesame seeds.
- Roll out the dough onto the baking sheet.
- You might have to knead it out with your hands first.
- A rolling pin works well for this.
- The rolled out dough should be no thicker than about half an inch.
- Poke some holes around the edges and middle with a fork.
- This will ensure it stays flat plus infuse some of the baste's robust flavors into the dough too.
- With a pastry or BBQ brush, brush the baste onto the dough.
- It should use up all of the baste perfectly.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Carefully remove and cut into bite-size pieces, strips, or whatever you like.
