Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Vital wheat gluten
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, active dry yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, and honey until well combined.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it with a rolling pin into a disk about 1/4 inch thick.
Carefully place each dough disk onto the hot baking stone or sheet in the oven.
Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread puffs up and has light brown spots.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your high protein Egyptian Baladi bread as a delicious accompaniment to any meal!
