| 1. Mix the sponge ingredients, except the flour together and set aside until foamy, about 15 minutes. | 2. Add the flour and combine well. | 3. Cover with a tea-towel or loosely with plastic wrap and set aside overnight. Don’t cover the sponge tightly because the air inside with become anoxic and the yeast will die. | 4. The following day, mix the second lot of yeast, water and honey/sugar together until foamy then add the remaining ingredients except the sesame seeds or nigella seeds and egg then knead until the dough is smooth and very elastic. | 5. Add more flour if the dough is too wet. It should be slightly damp but silky smooth. About 20 Minutes. | 6. Once the dough is the right consistency, ball up and place in an oiled bowl covered with a tea-towel or loosely with plastic wrap for 3+ hours or until the dough has doubled in size. | 7. Punch down the dough then kneed again for another 10 minutes or so. | 8. Divide into six pieces and roll out to the desired shape, quite thinly and put on a greased baking tray and put in a warm place for an hour or more until the dough has risen significantly. | 9. Pre-heat your oven to 250ºC. | 10. Brush with an egg wash and sprinkle over the sesame or nigella seeds. | 11. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the crush is golden. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
