Ethiopian Ambasha

== Description ==
Texture is similar to that of pizza dough, or bread sticks, but with many fragrant spices.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 tbl active dry yeast
* 1/4 cup Warm water
* 2 tbl Ground coriander
* 1 tsp Ground cardamom
* 1/2 tsp white pepper
* 1 tsp Ground fenugreek
* 2 tsp salt
* 1/3 cup vegetable oil
* 1 1/4 cup Lukewarm water
* 5 cup unbleached flour
===Topping===
* 1 tbl Cayenne
* 2 tbl oil
* 1/4 tsp ground ginger
* 1 pch Ground cloves
* 1/8 tsp cinnamon
== Directions ==
# Dissolve the yeast in warm water for 10 minutes. Add the coriander, cinnamon, white pepper, fenugreek, salt, oil and lukewarm water, and stir well. Slowly add the flour until a mass forms. On a floured board, knead the dough for 10 minutes or until it is smooth and tiny bubbles form.
# (note: this recipe makes a stickier dough than usual)
# Reserve a 1-inch piece of dough. With floured hands spread the dough out on an ungreased pizza pan. Using a sharp knife, score the dough in a design similar to the spokes of a bicycle wheel. Place the reserved ball of dough in the center of the scored dough. Cover and let rise one hour.
# Bake at 350F for an hour or until golden brown. Combine the topping ingredients (cayenne, oil, ground ginger, ground cloves, cinnamon) in a small bowl. While still warm brush the bread with topping.
# Yield: 1 16-inch loaf.
