In the Middle East, flat bread is the most common kind of bread. Do not get me wrong ,we also love all other kinds, but flat bread has a special place in our hearts don’t know why!!! Searching the internet you can find hundreds of flat bread recipes. This one is a little oily and rich, it is so soft and fluffy. My kids like to dip it in molasses and honey with cream yum yum.
So let’s start by getting the ingredients:
- 3 cups of all purpose flour.
- 1 cup of whole wheat flour.
- 1.5 cup of warm water/milk – I used 1 milk and half water.
- 1/2 cup of olive oil.
- 1 tsp dry yeast.
- 1 tsp of granulated sugar.
- 1/2 tsp of salt.
- We’ll start by adding all the dry ingredients together, mix well then add the oil and the milk/water and mix very very well together until you get a firm dough that is not sticky. Let it rest for about half an hour.
- Cut into 10 pieces – depending on the size you want. Meanwhile heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Start rolling your pieces one by one.
- Place the rolled dough in your hot skillet for 30 seconds then turn it for another 30. When you are done with it cover and start by the other piece . Add the pieces on top of one another and cover until you are done with them all.
I would like to welcome you to our breakfast table. One bite of these and you’ll see how worthwhile it is to make them yourself.
So delicious with honey and cream.
Hubby prefers them with molasses and my oldest son too.
Enjoy.

Ps. – my search for semolina pancakes brought me to your site, tried the Baghir (hope I spelt it right) – delish.
Thank you for introducing me to your lovely recipes.
Thanks Bimpe for your sweet comment, I am glad you liked the Baghrir as well. We use a lot of semolina in the Middle eastern kitchen. If you are a fan just type semolina in the search box here. Hoping to see much of your comments and I hope you’ll try more recipes and please do come back and tell me how it went.
I’m a huge fan of flat bread too… no other bread stands up so well to being dragged through a big slick of hummus, olive oil, baba ghanoush, harissa… mmm. I want to come to have breakfast with you, hehe – you’re making me hungry!
Now you are the one who is making me really hungry, I would like to dive in a deep hummus dish with a ton of this bread and jump on the treadmill for the rest of the day hahaha
I love breads like this, specially when dipped in something like hummus or even curries
Oh I love hummus dip and with crushed red peppers… who cares what will happen next hahahaha… Thanks Raymund for the visit.
Amira: What a beautiful, delicious plate of food!!! With a breakfast like this, who could resist it?!
