Steps for making a tawa
1
We put the flour, sugar, nigella seeds, milk and yeast into the mixing bowl, then we attach the hook and run the mixer on a slow speed until the dry ingredients are blended.
2
Add the water gradually, then increase the speed to medium while continuing to knead until the dough wraps around the hook. Then add the butter and continue kneading for 5 minutes.
3
Remove the dough from the bowl and divide it into two equal balls, then cover them to rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.
4
Roll out a ball of dough on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/2 cm, ensuring the surface is smooth and free of holes. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter. Gather any excess dough, knead it again, roll it out, and cut it again. Repeat this process until all the dough is used
5
Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
6
Heat a generous amount of oil over low heat until it reaches a suitable temperature for frying, then add the dough pieces, 4 or 5 pieces at a time, or according to the size of the pan used.
7
Stir until golden brown, then remove from the oil and place in a strainer to remove excess oil.
8
Then they are tossed in honey, date syrup, or powdered sugar, arranged on a serving plate, and can be served.
