Instructions
How to make Laffa Bread ~ Israeli Flatbread
- In a wide bowl, add all the ingredients except water and mix them well.
- Add warm water little by little and form a smooth dough.
- Knead them for 10 mins, it the dough becomes soft and pliable.
- I kneaded using the food processor and it is relatively very quick.
- Grease the bowl and place the dough with cling film covered. Let it rest for an hour or so to double.
- Once it doubles, punch it and divide into equal balls.
- Floor the work surface well and roll a dough ball like we do for roti.
- Roll them to flatbread like how we do with our rotis.
- Heat a tawa / pan and put the rolled laffa on the hot pan.
- When the laffa puffs up, flip and cook the other side, till you see brown spots.
- Oil the pan if needed and repeat the same with the rest of the dough balls.
- Traditionally, it is served with Hummus. This is also the base for many wraps and sandwiches.
