Bint Bidoun Black Seeds

I made this traditional dish, "daughter of the plate," for an international potluck the other night. I made a smaller version than the real thing, because I didn't have a pan large enough to make the real thing and, well, sixteen layers of paper-thin dough are hard enough in 10-inch diameter. Forget 14-inch diameter. The stretchy dough was actually kind of fun to work with, and the final product tasted like it was supposed to. Except that it's missing the black seeds that are supposed to be sprinkled on top ("bidoun" means "without," and "bint" is "daughter" and is the westerner's abbreviation for the full name of the dish).
