So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tbsp. flaxseeds
• 1 tsp. active yeast
• 1/3 cup lukewarm water
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. vinegar
• 1 tbsp. oil
• 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
• 1 tsp. rose water
• melted butter to grease the pan
• 1 tsp. powdered sugar to garnish (opt)
• 1 tsp. jam to garnish (opt)

          In a bowl, mix together 1/3 cup lukewarm water, yeast, sugar and vinegar. Mix well and cover. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes. By then it will froth up.

          In a separate bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, salt, flaxseeds, oil and rose water, followed by the cardamom powder. Add the yeast water and knead into a soft dough. Cover and keep aside in a warm place for 2 hours.

          By now it will swell up. Punch the dough back by dusting some flour and transfer to a greased and flour dusted cake tin. Cover and keep aside again in a warm place to rise for another 2 hours.

          Bake in a preheated microwave oven at 180 degrees C for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool down a bit and then scrape away the sides.  

          Flip it over carefully and set aside to cool further on a wire rack. Garnish with jam and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Cut into slices and relish with a jam or butter spread or anyway you like it.
