Share:
Ingredients
- 5 cups flour
- 1½ cup warm water (more or less depending on the flour)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup ghee (clarified butter), melted butter or margarine
- black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Mix flour, water and salt and knead until obtaining a smooth dough, about 15 minutes.
- Knead for 15 minutes.
- Flour / water ratio may need to slightly be adjusted depending on the absorption of the flour, in order to obtain a perfectly smooth and homogeneous dough that does not stick too much.
- Divide dough into 4 and shape 4 smooth balls. Coat each with a little butter and let stand for 45 minutes.
- Roll out each ball of dough into a very thin sheet, either by hand or with a rolling pin (without pressing strongly).
- Once each dough piece is rolled, brush generously both sides with melted butter. Fold the dough as shown in the step-by-step photos below.
- Cover and let stand for 45 minutes.
- Fry malawach in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat for a few minutes on each side.
- Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and enjoy hot or warm.
