Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes. Cut into 8 equal pieces and roll into 10cm/4inch circles. Put on 20 baking sheets. Cover and leave for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 220C/425F/Gas7.
Melt butter in a pan with coriander and garlic. Spoon three quarters over breads. Season with salt. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until golden. Brush with remaining herb butter. Serve.
You could add cumin seeds to the dough which will give a spicy sweet flavour which goes well with curries.
