Aish merahrah

Aish merahrah is an Egyptian bread shaped into flat, wide loaves. It is made with maize flour and ground fenugreek seeds, with the help of a sourdough starter which allows the dough to ferment overnight. After baking, this bread can be kept for a longer period of time, if stored in an airtight container.

It is a staple of the Egyptian countryside, so it is often prepared locally in numerous village homes.
