Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomato paste, extra virgin olive oil, and warm water, stirring until smooth and fully emulsified.
Step 3: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sea salt into the wet mixture.
Step 4: Fold in the nigella seeds and dried mint, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough, then knead gently by hand until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Step 5: Pinch off small pieces of dough, roll them into compact, closed cylindrical shapes (like miniature sausages), and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
Step 7: Let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Chef's Tip
Kneading the nigella seeds and dried mint directly into the dough guarantees that every single bite carries the full aromatic profile and visual texture.
