The Secret Technique That Makes Egyptian Pita Perfect

Middle Eats 2024-12-01 | Eish baladi isn't just another flatbread - it's what happens when you combine the convenience of pita with the incredible texture of Focaccia and the complex flavor of sourdough. This Egyptian bread is so beloved that Egyptians consume over 250 million loaves every day. Our recipe reveals the secret technique that gives this bread its perfect pocket and springy texture.

Ingredients (makes 16 small or 10 medium loaves):
500g white all purpose flour (11% protein recommended)
400ml water
10g salt
10g sugar
7g dry active yeast

Bran mixture:
500g fine wheat bran
350g white all purpose flour

Recipe summary:
1- Make a preferment the night before
2- Turn the preferment into dough by mixing the rest of the ingredients with it using the technique outlined below
3- Portion the dough out into individual pieces onto trays filled with wheat bran and flour then rest
4- Take pieces of dough and lightly stretch them with your hands, then bake them one by one

Pre-ferment:
In a bowl add 200g of the flour, 200ml of the water and 1g of the yeast from the original ingredient amounts. Mix until well combined and the mixture is sticky. Cover and leave for 12-16 hours.

Assembling bread dough:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer add the preferment, remaining flour, remaining yeast, sugar, salt, and half of the remaining water. Mix on low until a rough dough comes together (about a minute).
2. Knead the dough on low speed for 5 minutes until smooth, then while the machine is running add half the remaining water and incorporate. Once incorporated repeat to add the rest of the water and turn the speed up to medium.
3. When all the water has been absorbed and the dough starts sticking to the bowl, knead for a further 2 minutes. Dough should be very sticky and stretchy. Cover and let it rest for 1-2 hours depending on ambient temperature or until it doubles in size.
4. Gently knock out most of the air, by releasing the dough from the sides of the bowl.

Bran mixture:
If you do not have fine bran, grind the wheat bran using a blender for 15 seconds and sift it into a large bowl. Mix the bran and flour until well combined and pour the mix onto baking trays or sheets (ideally ones with high walls). The bran and flour mixture should be at least 1 cm deep.

Portioning and baking the dough:
1. Cover trays with bran-flour mixture. Have a plate of flour ready.
2. Wet your dominant hand and flour the other. Using the wet hand, scoop dough and let it dangle from your palm. Swing palm in circular motions to slap dough into hand, until it forms a taught ball. Pinch between thumb and finger to portion, then drop onto floured hand. Bounce in palm to coat with flour, then place unfloured-side down on bran. Space portions well apart.
4. Cover and rest 45-60 minutes in a warm room.
5. Heat home oven with pizza stone/steel to maximum temperature (250°C) for 1 hour, or pizza oven to 350-400°C for 20 minutes.
6. To bake: Dust peel with bran mixture. Gently lift dough by curling fingers under it through the bran. Support with all fingers, shake off excess bran, and transfer to peel. Pat gently to shape into a circle. Shake to ensure it can slide on the peel.
7. Bake until lightly colored (4-5 minutes in home oven, 90-120 seconds in pizza oven). In a home oven you should take it out when it has started to lightly change colour, in a pizza oven watch for leoparding then remove when lightly browned.
10. Cool bread on a wire rack for 20 minutes, do not stack until cooled to prevent the bread from softening. Store in an airtight bag or container for up to 3 days or freeze and reheat when needed.

Bulgur Pilaf

1 kapya pepper or 1/2 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
1 garlic clove (minced)

20g butter
500ml hot water (Use 100ml more water if you want a softer grain, we prefer a bit of a bite)

1. To a medium pot over medium high heat add the oil and heat. Add the chopped onions and sautee until translucent and corners are starting to turn golden.
2. Add the green chilli, red pepper and garlic and cook until soft. Add the pepper and tomato pastes and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and they start to stick to the pot.
3. Add the spices then crushed tomatoes to deglaze the pot. Mix well until the base of the pot is clean.
4. Add the bulgur, butter and water. Stir until the butter has melted and bring the pot to a simmer, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Once the bulgur grains have inflated and all liquid has disappeared, turn the heat off. Place a kitchen towel or kitchen paper over the pot and cover with the lid, then steam for 10 minutes.
6. Fluff up the grains with a fork before serving.

Recipe as demonstrated:
2kg bone-in meat (lamb shanks or another joint)
2kg onions (2-4kg recommended, but less can be used)
4 tsp salt***
3 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp nutmeg

***If changing meat, or amount of onions, calculate and add up the salt based on the following:
Boneless meat - per kg use 1.5 tsp salt
Bone in meat - per kg use 1 tsp salt
Onions - per kg use 1 tsp salt

For example, if using 2kg of boneless meat, and 3 kg of onions your salt would be:
Meat (2 X 1.5 tsp) = 3 tsp
Onions ( 3 X 1 tsp) = 3 tsp
Total = 6 tsp

Stock:
1.2 kg chicken thighs/legs
2 medium onions
1.5 tsp salt
1 cinnamon stick
1 tbsp oil (stock)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground cardamom
150g barberries

Rice:
600g rice (3 cups)
250g thick greek yogurt
30g neutral oil
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
0.5g Saffron
100ml hot water
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Topping:
50-75g barberries
2 tsp sugar
15g butter

To make the chicken stock:
1. Thinly slice the onions and set aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil in your stock pot and sear the chicken pieces until skin is golden brown. Remove the seared chicken and set aside.
3. In the same pot, add 1.5 tsp salt and the sliced onions then fry until translucent.
4. Add the chicken and cinnamon stick to the pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Use a mesh strainer to skim off the gunk. When all impurities are removed lower the heat to medium low, cover pot and let the stock simmer for 30-45 minutes depending on the size of chicken pieces.
5. Remove the chicken once cooked and set aside.
6. To the onions and stock add the black pepper, cardamom and barberries and simmer on medium to high heat until the stock is reduced to a thick-ish onion sauce (about 20 minutes).

To cook the rice:
1. Wash and pre-soak your rice. Ideally before starting the stock.
2. Crush the saffron, and pour in the hot water. Let this infuse for around 15 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients (except for the rice) and whisk until well combined.
3. Drain the rice and add it to the yellow mixture. Mix until all grains of rice are coated in yellow goodness.

To make the barberry topping:
1. In a small saucepan, add the sugar and butter and melt on medium heat. Add the barberries and cook until the berries are inflated.

How to assemble and cook the tahchin:
1. Shred the chicken into thick strips. Into a medium bowl, add the chicken and 1/2 to 2/3 of the onion sauce (reduced stock). Mix until all the chicken is coated in the sauce.
2. Coat a 25cm non-stick oven proof pan in about 40g of neutral oil, sides included. To the pan, add 2/3 of the rice mixture covering the base and the wall. Add the chicken mix then cover with the remaining rice mix.
3. Distribute the cubes of butter equally over the rice.
4. Cover the rice with a lid or foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 45 minutes. Uncover the rice then bake for another 30 minutes.
5. Let the tahchin rest for 10 minutes then flip onto a large platter.
6. Top the tahchin with the barberry topping and slivered pistachios.

Why Is This Saudi Coffee White?

This is Hijazi Almond Coffee and it's a Hot Drink from the Hijaz Region of Saudi Arabia that is served all year round during special occasions. It's sweet and creamy, but the colour makes it clear, this doesn't contain coffee at all. So why is it called that?

This TANGY & UMAMI Iraqi Casserole Will Make You Drool

Even more so, I think it's perfect for winter when you want something with deep body and homey flavours.

Your New Favourite dish will be this layered Palestinian one #CookForPalestine

Middle Eats 2023-11-25 | One of the greatest Palestinian dishes is Musakhan; which combines confited sumac onions and aromatic chicken to create a dish that is deep in Umami and Tangy flavours. This dish is a big part of Palestinian culture too, as it's often used to test the purity of olive oil and the quality of each year's harvest. Being such an important dish, it's evolved into many forms and become a ubiquitous Palestinian Flavour, leading to today's dish Musakhan Fatteh. It contains layers of crispy bread, tangy musakhan & luscious sauces, to create a bite that is impossible not to love. So make this dish and invite your friends to try it, and while doing that, raise some money for #CookForPalestine. And don't forget to tag @MiddleEatsYT and @CookForPalestine on Instagram

The RARE Shawarma From Cairo Im OBSESSED With

Middle Eats 2023-11-10 | When I lived in Cairo, I used to eat Meat Shawarma from a Restaurant called Abu Haidar every single week. I couldn't get enough of the succulent meat and juicy buns, and so after leaving Egypt, it's been one of the foods I crave the most. Luckily my mother in law had a great recipe for meat shawarma that is practically identical to the one from this restaurant. It's just as succulent and flavourful, and really hits the spot. Make this and I guarantee you'll be doing it on the regular.
