--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3 1/3  cups          unbleached flour
   1      packet        dried yeast
   2      teaspoons     salt
   1      teaspoon      cumin seeds or poppy seeds
     2/3  cup           natural yogurt
   1      cup           warm water
   2      tablespoons   butter -- melted
                        extra flour, for rolling
                        oil, for cooking

Sift flour into a big bowl.  Add the yeast and salt and stir in the
seeds. Mix the yogurt, water and butter together and stir into the flour.
 Turn the dough out onto a floured board.  Knead for 5 minutes.  Put the
dough back in the bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled
in size.  (2 to 4 hours depending on the warmth of the room)  Punch down
dough and knead for 1 minute.  Cut it into 8 equal pieces and roll each
into a ball.  Sprinkle a little four on work surface and roll each ball
out to an oval shape.  Heat a griddle or heavy based frying pan until
quite hot, brush it lightly with some oil, and cook each bread for about
3 minutes on each side.  Keep the breads warm, wrapped in a clean tea
towel.
