300 g

lukewarm water +extra water while kneading

1 tablespoon

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Add the sugar and yeast to a bowl and mix with 125ml of water then leave for about 5-10 minutes until you have bubbles formed on the surface

* Step 2

Pour the yeast over 300g of plain flour with a pinch of salt and mix together to form a soft smooth dough. You might need to add more water while kneading. Cover and leave on the side for 30 minutes.

* Step 3

Roll out the dough and split it into around 10 parts, be sure to add some flour to the surface to stop it from sticking - each ball should be around 80g

* Step 4

Cover the dough balls again for 10 minutes

* Step 5

Using the rolling pin, roll the dough into a circular shape with a thickness of ~1cm

* Step 6

Add the dough now on a preheated pan on medium heat or under the grill in a preheated oven. Don’t touch or flip the bread until it completely puffs (if it’s in a pan wait until the bottom is brown and if you’re doing it in the oven then flip the bread when the top is brown) - Sometimes half of the bread puffs and when you flip it it will continue puffing on the other side. Flip the bread when the bottom is golden brown.

* Step 7

Move the ready bread to a tray and cover with a clean towel while you work on the rest of the dough. This will keep the bread soft and nice. As you can see not all the bread got puffy and this has to do with the pan temperature but it still tasted so good. Also the bread won’t stay puffy once out of the oven but you’ll be able to open it as a pocket and stuff it with yummy things!

* Step 8

I enjoyed mine with mouhammara dip or you can even spread some zaatar and olive oil with some fresh veggies like cucumber and tomatoes and have it as a roll for breakfast 🤤
