Servings 5

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 cups White Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Honey to taste
  • Samneh Ghee, as needed
  • Water as needed (for the dough)
  • Cornflakes for garnish (optional)
  • Nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour and add the salt and two cups of warm water to the pot.
  • Gradually add the flour to prevent clumping until the dough reaches a consistency like cake batter. If you notice the dough becoming too stiff, add more water as needed.
  • Stir the dough and place a portion of it in a pan over low heat until it cooks like bread. Once cooked, place it in a container. After all the "bread" is cooked, knead it together in the container until it becomes smooth.
  • Make a well in the center and add the honey and ghee. Serve garnished with nuts and cornflakes as desired.
