Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

3. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
7. In a dry skillet, toast the nuts, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool.
