- 22 oz Greek yogurt
- ½ cup water

- 3 tomatoes , diced
- 2 onions , chopped

Instructions
Fatir
- Mix flour, water and salt. Stir with your fingers. Do not knead the dough more than necessary.
- Form a ball. Flatten the ball and cover with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour (more if possible).
- Preheat oven to 350F/160C.
- When out of the refrigerator, roll out the dough into a rectangle on a generously floured work plan.
- Brush the dough with butter. Sprinkle with flour.
- Make five regular rectangular strips.
- Roll the first strip to form a "snail". Squeeze while rolling.
- Once the first strip is rolled, put it on the second strip and roll the first in the second.
- Repeat step with the other strips of dough to obtain a large "snail" shape.
- Then, place the dough horizontally on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Flatten the dough into a ¾ inch (2cm) thick circle.
- Traditionally, marks are made on the dough with an instrument called a chakich. You can also use a meat tenderizer. It is also possible to make marks with a fork.
- Bake until fatir is golden. This can take up to 40 minutes.
Qurutob
- Heat the Greek yogurt and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Add salt.
- Stir regularly for 30 minutes.
- The result should yield about ⅔ of the initial weight of yogurt, e.g. 14 oz (400g) here.
- Sauté onion in a skillet in hot oil until translucent, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place small pieces of fatir bread in a large bowl (traditionally a large wooden dish).
- Top with yogurt.
- Pour the onion with the hot oil.
- Top with spring onions, tomatoes and cilantro.
- Serve immediately.
