Food Fare: Middle Eastern RecipesHembesha

Eritrean Bread

In a bowl, dissolve yeast in lukewarm water; set aside. In another bowl, mix eggs, oil and spices; beat lightly. Sift flours into a large bowl; add egg mixture and yeast. Knead on a floured surface for about ten minutes. Place dough in a clean bowl; cover with a towel and allow to rise for at least one hour. Punch down dough and knead for another ten minutes. Form dough into flatbreads; each about one inch high. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Cook on medium-low heat in covered electric skillet for about ten minutes. Turn bread over and cook an additional five minutes. Remove from skillet.

 

Suggestions: Serve warm with butter, or cut into wedges and serve cold.
