Egyptian Bread 'Ish'

Cultural Context

Originating in ancient Egypt, Aish Baladi is a staple flatbread that has nourished generations. Traditionally baked in clay ovens, it symbolizes hospitality and is often served with meals, providing a vehicle for dips and stews. Today, it enjoys popularity beyond Egypt, with variations found across the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting local ingredients and tastes.

whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: spelt flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Spelt flour adds nutrients while all-purpose flour is more accessible.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil is healthier and can be used in place of olive oil.

Mix flour, semolina, and salt in a large bowl.

2

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture.

4

Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

5

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

6

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

8

Shape each portion into a ball and flatten into discs about 1/2 inch thick.

9

Sprinkle cornmeal on a baking sheet and place the discs on it.

10

Bake for 10-15 minutes until puffed and lightly browned.

11

Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving.
