Here is the flat bread recipe we used for our Dads Fathers Day dinner, thought you all might enjoy a recipe not just pics:)
Saj Bread
For the ingredients you will need
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110 to 115°)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Oil for coating the dough
Preparing the dough
Mix all the ingredients using a blender, except the flour and the remaining 1/2 cup of water. Then pour the mixture in a big bowl, sift the 3 1/2 cups flour on top and start mixing with hand or a wooden spoon until smooth and no longer sticky (in this step add the other 1/2 cup of water). Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place for 1 hour. After one hour the dough should be doubled in bulk. Knead with hand for a few minutes, then start to divide the dough into medium sized balls. Using a floured rolling pin (you can flatten using your hands instead) start rolling the balls into circles on a lightly floured surface (in this step use the oil for coating). Put a skillet on low heat. When it becomes hot, put the flattened dough in it. Bake for 30 seconds to one minute (till golden base). Flip the bread to the other side for another 30 seconds. Pile your bread and cover to keep them soft and serve immediately. You can use the Saj as wraps for any thing you like.

I've just come across your blog from a link over at "Young Homemakers". I love to bake and cook and have enjoyed going through some of your posts!
I'm very keen to try your flat bread recipe. When my dad visited Lebanon he brought back some delicious flat bread for us to try. We have looked at different recipes but none of them have been quite the same, so I'm hoping I've come across the right one here! :)
God bless you.
