Fatir (Flat Bread)
Authentic fatir is made with toasted barley flour, not widely available in the United States. Flour tortillas baked in a warm oven over a metal mixing bowl for 3 to 4 minutes will simulate the shape of fatir. Ingredients 1 loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed according to package directions Wok Procedure Turn the thawed bread dough out onto a floured surface. Divide it into 6 pieces. Flatten each piece under the palm of your hand and dust lightly with white flour. Roll out one piece at a time, keeping the rest covered with a damp dish towel, to make 6 flat breads about 10 inches in diameter. The bread will be very thin, so handle it carefully. Spray the outside of a wok with cooking spray and set the wok, upside down, over a burner on the stove. Heat it over medium-high heat. Wearing oven mitts, carefully lay the bread over the curved surface. (This will be awkward. If the mitts make it impossible to handle the dough, use two spatulas or wooden spoons to lift the dough and drop it onto the wok.) Press down gently, using a wooden spoon, to make sure all parts of the bread touch the cooking surface. Cook for 1½–2 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn the bread over and cook the other side. When the bread is fully cooked, remove it from the wok and wrap it in a kitchen towel to keep it warm. Cook the remaining breads the same way. |
