Method
- 1 Knead the flour with warm water, salt, and sugar until it forms a very soft dough, then let it rest for 30 minutes.
- 2 Divide the dough into small balls, dip them completely in melted ghee butter, and let them rest for another 15 minutes.
- 3 Stretch each ball of dough across the buttered surface until it is thin, almost transparent.
- 4 Fold the dough sheet into several layers, brush butter between each fold, and then stack the sheets on top of each other.
- 5 Bake at 220°C for 25 minutes, or until the top of the cake is puffed up and golden brown.
- 6 Slice while still hot, drizzle with honey or serve with salty cheese.
