Tools:

How to Make Arabic Bakery Flour:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the yeast begins to bubble and foam.
- Add the olive oil and Arabic bakery flour to the bowl, and stir until the flour is fully incorporated into the dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Return the dough to the mixing bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm, draft-free place.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking sheet inside to heat up.
- Divide the dough into 4 pieces and shape them into round loaves. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, and carefully place the loaves onto it. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a crispier crust, spray the loaves with water just before baking.
- You can also add additional toppings to your Arabic bread, such as sesame seeds or za'atar.
- If you don't need all 4 loaves at once, you can freeze them for later use.
- When kneading the dough, be sure to work in extra flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface.
