Fennel and Nigella seeds savory Flat bread! (Vegan)

I wanted to try make a loaf with Tangzhong starter/Water Roux starter. I made the dough and since it seemed to be a bit too moist, I decided to spread it out as a flat bread instead and topped it with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper like a focaccia! Note to self: Less water, some more flour next time.

Ingredients

1/3 cup Tangzhong starter ((I used 1/4 cup bread flour and 2/3 cup water and whisked it over medium heat till it was combined and started thickening, covered it in plastic wrap, refrigerated it and used it the next day))
1.5 cups bread flour
1/3 cup oats
2 tablespoons flax seeds
2 tablespoons warm water
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon raw sugar
1 teaspoon active yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds ((saunf))
1/2 teaspoon nigella seeds ((kalonji))
1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Blend/grind oats and flaxseeds into a coarse meal or use oatmeal and flaxmeal.

Add in the starter, flour, salt, oats and flax mixture, oil, fennel and nigella seeds, coriander powder, some black pepper and knead into a soft dough. You can add 1 teaspoon vegan butter or 1 flax egg to add to the texture of the bread.
5
Place dough in well oiled container with space to double and spritz top with water. Cover with heavy towel and let rise for 2 hours

Take dough out and using some flour shape into a flat bread but pulling or rolling. My dough was quite sticky, so I used a good amount of flour and pulled it into a rectangle of 1/4 inch.
