Ingredients:
2&1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 &1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon Milk powder
1&1/2 teaspoon Instant yeast
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional, but traditional)
3/4 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon of saffron threads
1 egg (optional, for a richer dough)
Extra flour for dusting
Black and white sesame seeds for sprinkle .

Preparation:

Dough Preparation: Combine flour, sugar, cardamom powder, milk powder, saffron, oil water, yeast, and salt .
Slowly mix the ingredients together, gradually adding warm water as needed, to form a soft dough. You may not need all the water, or you might need a little more, depending on the type of flour used. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Allow the dough to rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the Bread:
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
Divide the dough into small balls (about 8-10 balls depending on the size you want for the bread).
Roll each ball into a flat, round disc about 1/4 inch thick. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to do this. The discs can be about 6 inches in diameter, but you can make them smaller or larger as desired.
brush with egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds.

Cook the Khameer Bread:

Heat a cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat. It should be hot but not smoking.
Place one disc of dough onto the dry pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until you see bubbles forming on top.
Flip the bread over and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. The bread should puff up slightly and have golden brown spots on both sides.
