Description
The following Greek everyday bread, also found in Cyprus and Turkey, is a large, soft loaf including both toasted sesame seeds and traditionally, nigella seeds, inside the bread and decorating the crust. Nigella seeds have a very distinctive flavor; some describe it as peppery, others as similar to that of caraway seeds.
The loaf is either deeply slashed before baking, or formed by placing balls of dough next to each other on the pan. The result? Easy to pull apart "fingers" of dough, making this a great "pass-around" loaf.
