Put the cracked chickpeas, warm water, and granulated sugar in a jar.
Cover the jar and keep it in a warm place for 10 hours, until a foamy chickpea starter forms.
Knead the flour, warm milk, salt, olive oil, and strained chickpea starter together.
Rest the dough covered for 35 minutes.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the tray.
Beat the egg, brush it over the loaf, and sprinkle with nigella seeds.
Bake the loaf in a 185°C oven for 26 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: Do not soak the chickpea starter in very hot water; a warm environment wakes the starter, while boiling water makes the aroma heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the loaf warm and serve it for breakfast with white cheese, olives, and strong tea.
