Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the dough rest for 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and make it easier to roll out.
• If the dough is too sticky, you can lightly dust your hands and the surface with flour while kneading.
• For a softer khobez bread, brush the cooked rounds with melted butter or olive oil before stacking them.

Storage and Serving

• Khobez bread is best served fresh and warm.
• If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in a toaster or oven to restore their softness.
• Serve khobez bread as a wrap with your favorite fillings like grilled chicken, falafel, or vegetables.
• You can also use khobez bread to make delicious sandwiches or tear it into pieces and dip it into hummus or baba ganoush.
