Lechuch (Yemenite Yeast Bread) image

Spongy lechuch, made of yeast dough, is served with hot soups and with dips. The preparation is simple, and is done in a frying pan rather than an oven. The result is something between a pita and a pancake, which can be dipped in tehina, simply spread with honey, eaten as is or torn up into a hot bone soup. I've always managed to scrounge some off my Yemenite friends, but have grown so addicted to the stuff thought it would be a better idea if I just made it myself. This recipe comes from Ha'aretz.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 kg flour
1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 tablespoon fine salt
2 tablespoons sugar

This is my new go-to bread recipe! It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love the chewy texture and the slightly tangy flavor. It's perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating on its own.

I'm not a huge fan of this bread. It's a bit too dense and chewy for my taste.
