Ingredients

  • 250 cc lukewarm milk
  • 25 gr. fresh yeast
  • 1 teaspoon cummin
  • 50 gr. sugar
  • 100 gr. soaked raisins
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 cc margarine or butter
  • 500 gr. flour

Directions

1

2

Allow the dough to rise, covered by a tea-towel, in a warm place. Knead the mixture again and create a round, flat bread (2 centimeters high) from the dough in the frying pan, Allow the dough to rise a second time in a warm place, until its volume has doubled. Decorate the bread with a knife or nails (see picture below).
