Homemade Malawah

Step 1 -Whisk the 3 cups of flour and the kosher salt together in a large bowl.

Step 2 -Add in the melted butter, mixing well.

Step 3 -Gradually mix in the 3/4 cup of water.

Step 4 -Lightly flour a work surface.

Step 5 -On the prepared work surface, knead the dough until it is very soft and shiny, about 5 minutes.

Step 6 -Wrap the dough in plastic wrap.

Step 7 -Let the dough rest in a warm spot for at least 4 hours.

Step 8 -Divide the dough into 10 pieces.

Step 9 -Roll each dough piece into a ball, using your palm.

Step 10 -Place the balls onto a baking sheet and cover them with plastic wrap.

Step 11 -Let the dough balls rest for 15 minutes.

Step 12 -One at a time, roll the balls out onto an un-floured surface with a rolling pin into thin ovals or rounds, about 9 inches across. If the dough bounces back, cover it in plastic and let it rest for a couple more minutes.

Step 13 -Brush the tops of the rounds with the room temperature melted butter.

Step 14 -Sprinkle the rounds with the sea salt.

Step 15 -Roll each round up onto itself to form a long thin rope, then wind each rope around itself in order to create a tight coil.

Step 16 -One coil at a time, roll out each coil onto an un-floured surface forming 10-inch rounds, no bigger than 1/8 inches thick. Stack as you go, separating each round with sheets of parchment paper brushed with the olive oil.

Step 17 -Heat a large skillet or cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat.

Step 18 -One at a time, brush both sides of the dough with the room-temperature melted butter and cook until cooked through and slightly blistered, about 2 minutes.

Step 19 -Move the bread to a wire rack and sprinkle it with the sea salt.

Step 20 -Serve warm.
