Sabaayad

African Breakfast recipe from the Wikibooks Cookbook.

Ingredients

3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1–1½ cups warm water
Additional oil for layering and frying

Instructions

Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl.

Add the oil and mix thoroughly.

Gradually add the warm water and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms.

Continue kneading for 5–10 minutes.

Cover the dough and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape into balls.

Roll each ball into a thin circle.

Brush the surface lightly with oil.

Fold the dough into a square and roll it out again.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.

Cook each sabaayad until golden brown on both sides, turning once.

Serve warm.
