Directions

  1. In a bowl, pour in half a glass of water, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 10 grams of yeast. ≈ 3 min
  2. You need to break the yeast into small pieces with a fork and then mix it up. ≈ 4 min
  3. Let it rest for ten minutes.
  4. While the garlic is cooking, it should be chopped into medium-sized pieces.
  5. For the yeast mixture, add one tablespoon of salt, one tablespoon of oil, 3.5 cups of whole-wheat flour, and one cup of water. ≈ 3 min
  6. First, you need to combine the ingredients to get a feel for the texture of the dough. ≈ 4 min
  7. Add some garlic and half a cup of mustard seeds. ≈ 3 min
  8. If necessary, you may need to add more flour or water to achieve a texture similar to that of playdough, which does not stick to the hands. ≈ 3 min
  9. If the dough is sticky, you need to add more flour. ≈ 3 min
  10. Once the dough has reached the desired consistency, a medium-sized mold is greased, and then lightly dusted with flour. ≈ 3 min
  11. We shake the mold to ensure that the bottom and sides are evenly coated with flour, which will prevent the dough from sticking. ≈ 3 min
  12. The excess flour can be placed in a bag. ≈ 3 min
  13. Place the dough in a mold, cover with a dishcloth, and let it rest for 40 minutes.
  14. About 10 minutes before the 40-minute cooking time is up, preheat the oven to 180 °C.
  15. After 40 minutes, the dough will have risen sufficiently.
  16. Then, it needs to be placed in the oven for an hour.
