Emirati Khameer Bread | Khamir Bread from UAE
Emirati Khameer Bread or Khamir Bread is one of the traditional breads from UAE, served for breakfast with fresh cheese. This simple yeasted bread makes a wonderful dish to enjoy with a hint of saffron and richness of other ingredients that are used.
Ingredients
- 2 cups All purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp Instant Yeast
- 1/4 cup Milk Powder
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Saffron
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
- 3/4 cup Water warm
- 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds toasted
Instructions
- Take the flour, yeast, milk powder, saffron, cardamom powder and sugar in a large bowl and combine well.
- Now slowly add water and knead to make a soft dough. When the dough comes together, transfer to the counter and knead for 5 minutes to get a smooth dough.
- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 6-7 portions. Roll each portion into a disc of 4-5 inches. Use flour if needed.
- Heat a flat tawa, when it is hot, place the rolled bread on the hot tawa.
- When it puffs up, flip after a minute and cook the other side, spread a tsp of oil on top, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and flip and cook for 2 seconds. Remove it on serving plate and serve it warm.
- Khamir bread is served with variety of toppings along.
Notes
I served it with a creamy gravy, while labneh or hung curd, some chopped bananas and pistachios will also be great.
