How To Make ethiopian flatbread (himbasha)

• 1

  Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in sugar and set aside in a warm, draft-free place for 10 minutes or until mixture bubbles.
• 2

  Combine flour, 1 tsp salt, sesame seeds and cardamom in a large bowl. Add oil and yeast mixture and mix to form a dough.
• 3

  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour or until dough doubles in size.

  Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 2 10-inch cast iron skillets. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll out to form 2 x 10-inch rounds. Place into greased skillet pans. Using a sharp knife, score 3 concentric circles in each round, working from the middle out, then make 8 shallow cuts intersecting through the center to form a wheel pattern.
