| 1. If you like you can toast the sesame seeds and the anise and fennel first to intensify their taste. | 2. Put the flour in a big bowl + salt +sugar +all the seeds +vanilla +yeast. | 3. Mix lightly. | 4. Put your ghee or butter on heat till it bubbles lightly, let cool a little bit then add to the flour, mix well, then add the cream and the yogurt, knead well till you have a soft manageable dough, a little bit sticky. | 5. Let it rise covered in a warm dark place for 1/2 hour. | 6. Then cut it into large egg sized balls. | 7. Let rise again for 2 hour. | 8. Press each ball into a disc the size you prefer, and put in your trays, don’t use the rolling pin in this step pressing the balls by hands gives much better results. | 9. You don’t need to brush the trays with anything. | 10. Leave to rise one last time 30-60min. | 11. Then turn on the oven on medium heat, with a knife draw parallel lines on each disc, brush lightly with (egg + milk + vanilla) mix, and put the trays in the preheated moderate oven, it will take 10-15 min, don’t leave it for so long so it won't get dry, once the bottom is red u can use the grill to put some color on the surface. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
