Saj bread (Khobz saj) from Arabiyya: Recipes from the Life of an Arab in Diaspora (page 73) by Reem Assil

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Slow-cooked lamb shoulder (Mashawi)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute this book's "Basic sourdough ('Ajeenah mukhammara)" for a sourdough version of this bread.
