Egyptian Arabic Pies
4-3/4 C flour
1 tsp. salt
2 C water
Melted butter
Sliced cheese (for serving; optional)
Honey (for serving; optional)
Place flour, salt and water in a blender or food processor; blend until dough becomes smooth and elastic. If blending by hand, knead for about forty-five minutes. Divide the dough into several equal parts; press by hand to remove air. Shape into balls and grease with melted butter; set aside for about fifteen minutes. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Spread dough pieces on a flat surface; roll with a rolling pin until they become thin. Sprinkle with flour if dough becomes too sticky. Pull each dough piece from all sides; fold from four directions into a square shape. Place on a baking sheet brushed with melted butter. Bake for fifteen minutes or until golden brown in color. Serve hot or cold with sliced cheese or dollops of honey.
