Nan Pya

Method

Mix flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl, then add warm water and oil to form a soft dough. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, then cover and leave to rise for 1.5 hours until doubled. Divide into 8 portions and shape into oval balls, then flatten slightly and cover to rest for 20 minutes. Press sesame and nigella seeds onto the surface of each nan. Heat a cast iron skillet or tawa over medium-high heat and cook each nan for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and puffed. Serve warm as an accompaniment to curries.
