Sabaayad Flatbread
A traditional Somali flatbread known for its soft, layered texture and versatility. Can be enjoyed with various accompaniments such as honey, ghee, or savory dishes.
Preparation
-
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Stir in olive oil and honey. Mix in water gradually until the dough comes together. Knead by hand until soft and very smooth.
-
Cover with some plastic wrap and set it aside to rest, between 30 minutes and 2 hours.
-
Divide dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll out 1 piece into a circle on a lightly floured work surface. Brush the top of the dough evenly with oil. Fold sides in to meet in the center. Fold top and bottom edges to meet in the center to make a square shape. Repeat with remaining pieces.
-
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Roll 1 square of dough into a circle again on a lightly floured work surface. Place in the skillet and cook until slightly puffed, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle a little bit of oil on top and flip; continue cooking until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Enjoy!
