Sabaayad (Somali Flatbread)

Recipe by MyHalwad from allrecipes.com

Bread 1 Hr. 7 Mins.

Ingredients

10

10 servings

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1.5 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided, or more as needed

Instructions

  • Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Stir in olive oil and honey. Mix in water gradually until dough comes together and is the consistency of pizza dough. Knead by hand until soft and very smooth, about 10 minutes.
  • Brush top of dough with a little bit of canola oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rest, at least 30 minutes and up to 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 canola 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. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep sabaayad warm and soft. Repeat with remaining pieces.
