Start by making the kitcha (Eritrean flatbread) using flour, water, and salt.

Begin with 1 cup of flour, adding more as needed for consistency.

Add a pinch of salt to the flour mixture.

Gradually add water to the flour while mixing with hands to achieve the right consistency.

Once the dough is ready, let it rest for a moment.

Heat a crepe skillet on the stovetop until hot enough to cook the kitcha.

Pour the dough onto the skillet, spreading it out evenly.

Cook until the kitcha is crispy, flipping as necessary to ensure even cooking.

Once cooked, remove the kitcha from the skillet and let it cool down slightly.

Rip the kitcha into bite-sized pieces for serving.

Prepare the toppings by adding beer and sesame seeds on top of the kitcha.
