Feteer Meshaltet 🫓

Egypt's answer to puff pastry: paper-thin stretched layers folded and drenched in butter, baked until the edges shatter. Friday-morning bakery staple, eaten plain, with honey, cheese or molasses.

Método

  1. 1

    Mix flour and salt, pour in about 1 cup of water and knead; add remaining water gradually until the dough is soft and elastic.

  2. 2

    Rest the dough 10 minutes, then divide into 6-8 balls.

  3. 3

    Warm the butter and oil together in a deep bowl; immerse the dough balls and let them rest in the fat 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Heat the oven very hot (around 290°C/550°F if your oven goes there).

  5. 5

    Stretch the first ball by hand on a clean counter until nearly translucent — the thinner, the better.

  6. 6

    Brush with butter and fold the dough over itself into a square; set aside and repeat with the next ball, stacking the squares.

  7. 7

    Bake each layered square 10-15 minutes until deep gold and blistered; stack baked pieces and brush each layer with more butter.

  8. 8

    Tear with hands and serve hot with honey, molasses (dibsh), cheese or just extra butter.
