3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover and set aside in a warm place to prove for 1 hour (it will double in size).

4. Place pumpkin slices in a steamer basket over a saucepan of simmering water. Steam for 2-3 minutes until just tender, then set aside.

6. Preheat oven to 220°C and preheat two oven trays.

7. Punch dough down and knead for a few minutes until smooth. Divide into two portions and roll each into a rectangle shape. Transfer to a sheet of baking paper, then lift onto preheated trays.

8. Bake both naans for 3-5 minutes, until puffed and just starting to turn golden. Top each with steamed pumpkin, tomatoes, crumbled feta and pumpkin seeds, then sprinkle with sumac. Bake for another 4-5 minutes until golden, then serve scattered with silverbeet

Tip: Instead of steaming the pumpkin, you could roast them in the oven. If you can't find sumac, lemon zest can be used as a replacement.
