Tips for Perfect Esfihas

  • • Water should be warm (not hot) to activate the yeast
  • • Add flour gradually - you may not need all of it
  • • Yogurt makes the dough fluffier and softer
  • • For open esfihas, make the edges thicker than the center
  • • Brush with egg yolk before baking for a golden finish
  • • The meat should be well seasoned and not too moist
