Kosher restaurants, You can use self rising flour for this type of bread but you should use salt, and you use only a little bit of it, it would not hurt...but you can always try not to add salt and i do hope the recipe works out for you.

Anonymous, Thanks for coming by. I am sorry, i have no idea where to buy the Saj oven, but you may use an inverted wok on high heat, make sure the wok is all made of cast iron and has no wooden handles.

fico score, You can use this recipe that i posted. You can cook it on an iron flat top or in a skillet, it should cook the bread well and you will get very close results. hope it works out for you.

I was wondering if any Lebanese people out there may have a recipe for traditional/authentic homemade Saj bread that I can make without having to buy the special concave pan?

Gabe, Thanks for your comment here.
I think you will not find the Convex saj oven anywhere, but you can make your own! you need a heat source,adjustable gas lit fire is usually used under a wok. Or you can just flip your wok upside down and try to use it on your stove top to create the saj oven. hope this works out for you.

Hi,
Great videos, anyone knows where I can buy the Convex saj oven from. I can't find any source on the internet. I live in the US.

Sherman, kneading the dough does not take time, it is a way to mix your ingredients to form a dough that would spread when you roll it and shape it by hand. knead the dough, let it rest, cut into balls, let rest again then start working with it to form your bread. hope this answers your question.

I've started making bread by hand. What part does kneading play in the process?

anonymous, thanks for your comment!
the filling you had could be made of Yogurt cheese, you may find a recipe for it here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/yogurt-cheese-recipe/index.html
my guess that the herb that was used is dry mint. glad you enjoyed it back then and know how it is made now :)

About 10 years ago, while on a tour in Israel (in better times), we visited the northernmost area, near the Golan Heights. We stopped along the road to buy from the locals. I have been looking for years to find out the name of the fantastic bread and "sandwiches" that we bought. The flatbread was cooked on what I now know was a saj. The mostly white filling was very tart and tangy.

Anonymous, i see no problem in preparing your dough ahead of time, 12-24 hours ahead of time is good but no longer than 24 hours. after it rises you should keep it in a cool place. get it out in a warmer climate at least couple of hours before you start working with it again so it would be easy to handle. good luck!

Great post. If I prepare the dough 15-24 hours before heating it, will it turn out well?

Reem, great to see you here!
i am glad you are enjoying my site and my videos. i think the temperature of the oven has a lot to do with making the bread puff or not. usually our home ovens do not do a great job in that area.
hope the recipe works out for you! Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment. :)

Hi Summer. I love your enthusiasm and professionalism in your videos. I tried making lebanese bread before, but it didn't puff. I would like to try this recipe. I will let u know the outcomes.
