Shrak (Flatbread)

Jordanian shrak is a wheat flat bread that is ubiquitous there. For our Jordanian feast, we will use it for nearly all of the dishes. It was used along side the delicious starter called mouttabal. A lovely smoky eggplant dip that would be wonderful for any occasion. It was also used toasted in the salad called fattoush and lastly, it makes up the bottom layer of the National dish called mansaf. The bread is easy to make. A wok placed upside down over a gas burner works incredibly well to cook the shrak. The bread will bubble up on one side and you don’t flip it, which gives the shrak a wonderful doughy-like texture. Enjoy!
