Shrak is a thin, unleavened flatbread of Jordanian Bedouin origin. Stretch the dough by hand until almost translucent, then cook it on a hot griddle for seconds. Sardines, Turkish red pepper flakes, and lemon make this version a spicy pescatarian brunch dish.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

5 min

Knead the flour, water, and salt together until you have a very soft, elastic dough.

2

Let it rest

10 min

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes; this will make it easier to roll thin.

3

Roll it thin

9 min

Divide the dough into small pieces and stretch each one by hand as thinly as possible, until almost translucent.

4

Cook on the griddle

8 min

On a hot cast-iron pan or griddle, cook the rolled dough for one minute on each side, turning once. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

5

Serve with sardines

3 min

Arrange the sardine fillets on the cooked flatbreads. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and squeeze lemon over them before serving.

Reminder

If the dough tears as you roll it, gently pinch the tear closed and continue; shrak does not need to be a perfect circle. Allergens: wheat (gluten), sesame, and fish (sardines).

Sardalya bulamadığım için editör notundaki gibi ançüez kullandım ve tuzu bir tutam azalttım, tuzluluk dengesi gerçekten iyi oturdu. Ekmeği açarken bir yerinde küçük bir delik oluştu ama kenarını kapatınca hiç sorun çıkarmadı.

Hamuru yeterince ince açmadan sıcak tavaya koydum, kenarları pişerken ortası hamur kaldı. İkinci denemede elimle gerçekten saydamlaşana kadar açtım, tavada her yüzünü ayrı ayrı 1 dakika kadar bekletince sorun tamamen düzeldi.
