Laffa Bread

by in Food?, Israel

Laffa bread, a traditional bread in the Middle East, is easy to make if you have an open fire and a cast iron bowl flipped upside down on it. The thinner you make it the better it is. Enjoy it with olive oil, hummus, and zatar! Recipe: 7 cups unbleached bread flour plus another ½ cup in case the dough is little too sticky 1 package dry rapid rise yeast 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons olive oil 3 cups of warm water Combine the dry ingredients.  Add the oil and water and if you are using a food processor process for about 60 seconds until a very smooth, soft, and slightly sticky ball forms. If using a mixer, mix with the dough hook until the dough is very smooth, soft and elastic.  If making by hand; after you add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, mix by hand in the bowl for a few moments until well combined and coming together.  Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about ten minutes until smooth and elastic.

Bake over open fire pit!
