Arabian spiced flat bread

I stumbled upon this flat bread recipe from a good friend of mine. The flat bread is so simple to make so yet very tasty. I combined this recipe with a delicious spice rub mixture I came across. The combination of both makes a great side dish or entrée. So let's get started!
 
Flat bread
 
Ingredients
500g plain flour
500g natural yoghurt
1 tbsp. sea salt
1 tbsp. baking powder
 
Method
1. Using a food processor or kenwood pulse all the ingredients together until they combine
2. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead together
3. Divide into approximately 12 portions
4. Roll one of the portions into a circular shape
5. Put the disc onto a hot grill plate
6. Cook each side for a couple of minutes until the flat bread puffs slightly
 
Spice Rub
 
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. sesame seeds
2 tbsp. dried thyme
2 tbsp. sumac
1 tsp. sea salt
 
Method
1.  Heat the sesame seeds on the stove until golden (ensure you stir constantly). Allow to cool
2.  Add all ingredients to a mortar and pestle and ground finely
 
To put it altogether, brush each flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle with the spice rub. 
 
Tip: The spice rub would also be delicious when marinating chicken to put on the bbq!
