Malawach (or Malawah) is a Yemeni Jewish flatbread typically eaten for breakfast; enjoy it savory with zhug, grated tomato, and hard boiled eggs; or make it sweet with honey drizzled across the top. <br /> <br />The dough is time consuming to prep, but make this recipe or double it, and store them in the freezer-- the pancakes can go straight from the freezer to the grill pan and be ready within 3 minutes. <br /> <br />A friend from Tel Aviv recently told me that when she first came to the states, scallion pancakes from Chinese restaurants were her favorite because they reminded her of malawach back home! Whether you like malawach, scallion pancakes, or paratha, this is a great flaky flatbread recipe to have on hand; the buttery, pull-apart texture is something I quickly became obsessed with. Enjoy them for breakfast the traditional Yemeni Jewish way (I love mine topped with poached eggs). Modify this malawach recipe with your favorite spices and fillings for a modern spin. <br />
