Reggag bread, from Saudi Arabia’s Bedouin cuisine, is made by hand-stretching unleavened dough paper-thin and cooking it on a hot griddle in seconds. Achieving this thinness takes years of practice; once mastered, the bread can be stored in layers in the freezer.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

10 min

Knead the flour, salt, water, and a pinch of oil into a very soft dough.

2

Rest

20 min

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

3

Divide into pieces

5 min

Divide the dough into small balls.

4

Stretch and cook

15 min

Stretch each ball by hand until paper-thin and cook it on a hot griddle for 20 seconds per side.

Reminder

Do not worry if the dough tears while stretching it; you can easily join it back together with your fingertips. Allergen: contains gluten (flour).
