INSTRUCTIONS

Makes 12 loaves Oven temperature: 260Ã¸C (500Ã¸F) Cooking time: 4
minutes each lot  Soak yeast in 1/4 cup water and stir to dissolve.
Sift flours into a mixing bowl, remove 1 cup flour and keep aside.
Blend remaining water and salt into yeast liquid and pour into flour.
Mix in a little of the flour to thicken liquid, cover and leave in a
warm place for 10-15 minutes until frothy. Blend in remaining flour  in
bowl, then beat by hand for 10 minutes, or on electric mixer using
dough hook for 5 minutes.  Turn onto a floured board and knead in
enough of the reserved flour  to make dough smooth and satiny. Return
to bowl, sprinkle top of  dough lightly with flour and stretch a sheet
of plastic film over top  of bowl. Leave in a warm place until doubled
in bulk - about 30  minutes. Preheat oven.  Punch down dough and turn
out on board.  Knead a little, then divide  into 12 equal portions.
Place a heavy flat griddle or baking sheet  on centre shelf in oven and
heat for 10 minutes. Grease with a wad of  paper towelling dipped in
oil.  Roll out each portion to a 15 cm (6  inch) round and prick with a
fork. Brush top lightly with oil and  spread on 1 teaspoon hilbeh. Lift
2 loaves onto a lightly floured,  flat-edged baking sheet or plywood
board and slide onto heated  griddle or baking sheet.  Bake in hot oven
for 4 minutes.  Top may be lightly browned under a  hot grill.  As
breads are removed, wrap in a cloth to keep them warm  and soft. Serve
warm.  NOTE: If breads begin to puff up during cooking, press top with
a  folded cloth.  Breads should be bubbly, but should not form a
pocket.  Source: The Complete Middle East Cookbook by Tess Mallos
