Egyptian Feteer Meshaltet

Ingredients

• 500g plain flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 300ml warm water
• 200g ghee, melted

Instructions

1. Mix flour, salt, sugar and water into a soft dough; knead 10 minutes.
2. Divide into 4 balls, coat generously in melted ghee, and rest in oiled bowls for 1 hour.

4. Brush with more ghee, then fold edges into the centre to make layers.
5. Roll out gently and place on a tray.
6. Bake at 220C for 20-25 minutes until deeply golden and flaky.
