This is a flaky Yemenite bread that my friend Yechiel taught me to make in Israel. Well worth the effort. (Cook time is rest time). Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup water |
1 cup butter, melted and clarified |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon vinegar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Sift the baking powder into the flour, make a well in the center and add water, 1 tablespoon of the butter, salt, sugar and vinegar.
2. Knead to a smooth elastic consistency.
3. Cut into 6 equal portions,and allow to rest in a cool place for 20 minutes Flatten each piece to a 6-inch round.
4. Brush each round with the melted butter, then roll it into a tight sausage shape Allow the rolls to rest for 20 minutes.
5. Repeat the flattening,rolling and brushing procedure twice more, waiting 20 minutes between rolling and re-flattening (final results should be flat like pita).
6. Using a non-stick skillet/frying pan, fry the malawah on both sides until golden brown, flipping them over at half time.
