Feteer is a Cairo street-food specialty made from dough that is repeatedly folded and rolled with butter, then topped with cumin and red pepper powder. Repeating the folding process three times creates its flaky layers after baking.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Rest the Dough

20 min

Knead the flour, water, and salt into a smooth dough, then let it rest for 20 minutes.

2

Fold the Dough

20 min

Roll the dough thin and brush it with melted butter. Fold it, roll it out again, and repeat this process 3 times.

3

Add the Toppings

10 min

Top with red pepper powder, cumin, crumbled white cheese, and chopped tomato.

4

Bake

15 min

Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Reminder

Repeat the folding process exactly three times; fewer folds will not create the layered texture. Allergens: wheat (gluten) and dairy (butter and cheese).
