Hummus

Laffa Bread

Method

Hummus

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water.

  3. 3

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Serve Hummus

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle paprika on top for garnish.

Laffa Bread

  1. 5

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 6

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 7

    Form Dough

    Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

  4. 8

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 9

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  6. 10

    Shape and Cook Laffa

    Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cook on a hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through.

  7. 11

    Serve Laffa

    Serve warm alongside the prepared hummus.
