ARABIC ALL PURPOSE DOUGH
By á-48643
Pour 6 cups of all-purpose unbleached flour in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt and mix thoroughly.
In a small bowl combine 1 teaspoon yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon flour with ½ cup barely lukewarm water. Let stand on countertop until the yeast starts to bubble up and rise. If the yeast does not start to bubble and rise, then it is bad yeast and you will need to start again with new yeast.
Once the yeast has risen, make a “well” in the flour creating a hole in the center of the bowl, and pour the yeast mixture in the “well” along with 2 cups water and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Begin to mix thoroughly together by hand by first loosely incorporating the ingredients with your fingers from either side of the bowl and working your way into the center. Once the dough has a soft-like consistency, it is ready. Be careful not to over mix. It should be bouncy to the touch.
Now, cover the bowl with a large kitchen towel and set on your countertop for approximately 2-3 hours until the dough has risen to double its volume. It is now ready to use.
Lightly flour a flat countertop or cutting board. Then place the dough onto the surface and cut into smaller segments using a dough cutter. Roll the segments into balls and flatten out with your fingertips. Set aside.
