Malawach

(Malawah)

Malawach is a traditional layered and folded bread that is especially popular in Israel and Yemen. Visually reminiscent of a pancake, the bread is made with flour, water, salt, and ghee. Once baked, it is often sprinkled with black sesame seeds.


Traditionally, malawach is served with hard-boiled eggs, chopped and crushed tomatoes, and z'hug, a spicy condiment.
