Egyptian Bread - 'Eish baladi' recipe:

 
    2 tsp. dry yeast
    1 cup warm water
    3 cups flour
    1 tsp. salt

      

Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of warm water. Sift together the flour and salt and mix the yeast and water. Work the mixture into a dough and knead for several minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll into balls. With either your hand or a rolling pin, pat and press each ball of dough into a 5 inch circle about 1/2-inch thick. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until light golden brown.
