Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
• If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
• For extra flavor, you can brush the cooked Saboob with melted butter or olive oil before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Saboob is best served warm, straight from the griddle.
• You can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, wrap the bread in foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
