Malawach<\/strong> is a particularly crispy pan bread<\/strong> because it has several layers, similar to puff pastry.\nI really like crispy things, so I couldn’t resist trying this recipe<\/strong>.\nIt takes a little time to prepare, but the effort is worth it because you are rewarded with pure indulgence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where does pan bread come from?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Malawach or malawah<\/strong> is a multi-layered bread that is prepared with lots of butter or ghee and fried in a pan.\nThis makes it nice and crispy and it can also be eaten on its own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yemeni Jews brought the recipe to Israel and established the pan-fried bread there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Arab world, there are many variations that have similar names and are prepared in a similar way, such as Iraqi kahi<\/strong> or Moroccan meloui<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now find malawach in the freezer section of every Arab supermarket.\nYou don’t even need to defrost it, but can put the bread straight into the pan and fry until crispy.\nBut homemade tastes much better, of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a handful of ingredients … <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And you certainly have them in your store cupboard.\nAfter all, flour, water, butter and salt are all part of a well-organized pantry.\nIf you don’t have any black cumin seeds, you can leave them out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, you can replace the butter with ghee<\/strong> – it adds more flavor and is actually used in the traditional recipe.\nI just didn’t have any on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to make the dough vegan<\/strong>?\nThen simply replace the butter or ghee with margarine<\/strong>.\nThis works just as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
