Fold out onto a clean work surface, knead for 15 minutes until the dough is soft and spongy. Add more sunflower oil if necessary. Add half of the onion seeds and make sure they are evenly distributed through the dough. Leave to rise for an hour, degas and leave for a further hour. Divide into six equal pieces, roll each one less than 1 cm thick with a 20 cm diameter and pull into a tear shape.
