Asians around the world love to explore new cuisines and experience different flavors. Today, we bring you the recipe for a delicious Ethiopian flatbread called Ambasha. This bread is soft, slightly sweet, and pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea. Let's dive into the recipe and learn how to make it at home. Ingredients: - 4 cups all-purpose flour - 1 tablespoon active dry yeast - 1/2 cup sugar - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup warm water - 1 egg, beaten Tools: - Large mixing bowl - Measuring cups and spoons - Wooden spoon or stand mixer with dough hook attachment - Clean kitchen towel - Baking sheet lined with parchment paper - Pastry brush - Plastic wrap How to make: 1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. 2. Add the melted butter and warm water to the bowl and stir until a shaggy dough forms. 3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. 4. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size. 5. Punch down the dough and knead briefly to release any air bubbles. 6. Divide the dough into 6-8 pieces and shape each piece into a ball. 7. Place the balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one. 8. Cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes. 9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). 10. Brush the beaten egg over the top of each dough ball. 11. Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. 12. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Tips: - If the dough is too sticky, add more flour a little at a time until it is easier to work with. - Make sure your butter is melted and cooled before adding it to the dough. - The bread will be slightly sweet due to the sugar, but you can adjust the amount to your liking. Note: - Ambasha is often served with coffee or tea, but you can enjoy it on its own as well. - Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. We hope you enjoy making and eating this delicious Ethiopian flatbread. It's a perfect addition to any meal or snack. Happy cooking!
