Feteer Meshaltet

Ingredients

• Flour4 cups
• Water1 1/2 cups
• Salt1/4 tsp
• Unsalted Butter1 cup
• Olive Oil1/4 cup

Directions

1. 1

   Mix the flour and salt then pour one cup of water and start kneading.

2. 2

   If you feel the dough is still not coming together or too dry, gradually add the remaining water until you get a dough that is very elastic so that when you pull it and it won’t be torn.

3. 3

   Let the dough rest for just 10 minutes then divide the dough into 6-8 balls depending on the size you want for your feteer.

4. 4

   Warm up the butter/ghee or oil you are using and pour into a deep bowl.

5. 5

   Immerse the dough balls into the warm butter. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Preheat oven to 550F.

7. 7

   Stretch the first ball with your hands on a clean countertop. Stretch it as thin as you can, the goal here is to see your countertop through the dough.

8. 8

   Fold the dough over itself to form a square brushing in between folds with the butter mixture.

9. 9

   Set aside and start making the next ball.

10. 10

    Stretch the second one thin as we have done for the first ball.
