This right here is my Arabic style flatbreads that are made for shawarma, falfil, and any kind of Arabic sandwiches you like. They might look like tortillas, but they’re much thicker. And I’m going to use these for file today. Two cups of warm water. Teaspoon of yeast. Mix that. And let that sit for 10 minutes. 4 and 1/2 cups of flour. 1 tbsp of salt. Mix it on a low for about a minute. 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add some olive oil around the rim of it. All around the dough itself. Cover it up and let it rise for an hour. Flower my pan real quick. And lower your surface. We’re going to cut them into 12 to 15. This made about 16 pieces. So, I’m going to let them rise for just about 10 minutes. Add flour to the top of your counter. The best way to do it. Roll it out and stretch the sides more. Flatten out the dough. Rolling pin. Or you can use a rolling pin to flatten it out. and let it rest for about 15 minutes. On a medium low heat, start warming up the pan for about 5 minutes. Put the dough on the pan and once it starts to bubble, flip it. And then when the bubble on both sides, just take it off. Just keep doing that until you’re done. Who is that for? Whoever wants. I should have stole it from you. This bread is perfect for any sandwiches.

  1. Flat Arabic Bread

    4 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
    1 1/2 cups of warm water
    1 teaspoon yeast
    1 tablespoon salt
    2 tablespoon olive oil

    In a large bowl put the water, yeast, sugar, oil and let it sit for 10 minutes then add the flour and salt. Mix the dough either by hand or mixer for 4 minutes. Put the little bit of olive oil in a bowl place the dough in the bowl making sure the oil is lightly glazed with the oil and allow the dough to rest in a warm area covered with a warm towel for 2
    hours. Once it rises remove from the bowl place it on top of a lightly floured surface and cut the dough into ball shape. Allow it rest for 10 minutes. Put flour on top of the counter and then start rolling them into flat circles like a thin flat dough. Let them rise for another 15 minutes. When you’re ready to cook them heat up the pan on a medium heat for about two minutes spray it with a little bit of oil spray, but clean it off with a napkin. Do you want it to be very light go ahead and put the into the pan for about one minute, then flip it over for another minute. If it’s too late, then keep it on the pan for another minute on each side you’ll notice it start to fluff up and if there’s air pockets use the back of the spatula to help it rise remove from the pan and cover it with a towel once you’re all done eat them right away and these can last up to 2 to 3 days. If the bread is to hard you flatten them out too thin, you can keep them a little bit thick when you roll them out to keep them soft.
