    |  | NONI AFGHANI - AFGHAN BREAD: Makes 8 noni
 |  |  
    |  | 
		
			| INGREDIENTS: |  
			| 
				1½ cups warm water1 package dry yeast (7 grams)1 tbsp sugar4 cups flour1 tsp salt¼ cup corn oil1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tbsp water1 tbsp black cumin seeds or caraway |  
			| DIRECTIONS: |  
			| 
				Mix ½ cup warm water, the yeast
                and sugar together and let it proof for about 10 minutes. When
                the froth appears, sprinkle ½ teaspoon flour on top and let it
                continue to proof for 5 minutes more. The froth will rise
                quickly.Put the flour in a large mixing
                bowl and sprinkle the salt over it. Make a well in the middle of
                the flour and add the oil and the yeast mixture. Stir this and
                add small amounts of water until you have produced a soft, moist
                dough that can be handled. Knead well for 5 minutes. Put the
                dough ball back into the bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise
                for 1½ hours. Punch down the dough. Divide the dough into 8 equal
                parts and roll each part into a ball. Roll each ball out into an
                oval shape 6 to 7 inches long and ½ inch thick. Draw the tines
                of a fork in 3 lines along the length of each noni for a
                decorative design. Paint each noni with the egg mix and sprinkle
                over all ½ teaspoon black cumin seeds. (This is the traditional
                seed to use, but caraway seeds may be substituted if the black
                cumin seed is unobtainable.) Put the noni on an ungreased cookie
            sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 20 to 25
            minutes. The brown top will glisten.  |  |  |
