👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

3. 3

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

4. 4

   Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a very thin, almost translucent sheet. This is the most crucial and difficult step.

5. 5

   Generously brush each thin dough sheet with melted ghee. Stack the sheets on top of each other, ensuring each layer is well-coated with ghee.

6. 6

   Once all layers are stacked, gently press down and then roll the entire stack into a tight log. Cut the log into 1-inch thick rounds.

7. 7

   Gently flatten each round with your palm or a rolling pin to about 1/2 inch thickness. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

8. 8

   Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. The layers should separate.

9. 9

   Serve warm, generously drizzled with more melted ghee and date syrup or sprinkled with sugar.
