- Preparation: 90 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (151 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten
Ingredients
- 90 g Flour, all-purpose
- 55 g Water
- 5 g Olive oil
- 1 g Salt
Method
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, then stir in the oil and gradually add the water, bringing it together into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 45-60 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a flat, thick disc about 2-3 cm high.
- Traditionally this is baked directly in the embers of a sand fire; at home, preheat a heavy dry skillet or a bed of hot coals and place the dough on it, then heap hot ash or embers over the top (or cover with a heavy lid in a very low 150°C/300°F oven).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until the crust is firm and lightly charred and the inside is fully cooked.
- Brush or scrape off any ash, then break the bread into pieces by hand and serve with a meat sauce or sweet tea, in the traditional Tuareg way.
