Slightly Spicy Indian Style Flatbread

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• one 14-oz tube pizza dough (pillsbury thin crust works the best)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (see prep note!)

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 400°f.
• 2 grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or a very light application of olive oil. (or preferably, olive oil cooking spray.).
• 3 in a small bowl, first combine the olive oil with the ground cumin and garam masala.
• 4 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.
• 5 roll out the dough 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.
• 6 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.
• 7 with a pastry or bbq brush, brush the baste the dough. it should use up all of the baste perfectly.
• 8 bake for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. carefully remove and cut into bite-size pieces, strips, or whatever you like.
