Sourdough Mannaeesh
By: Donna M.
Aug 13, 2002
Mannaeesh is a Middle Eastern favorite. It is lightly leavened to produce a soft bread that puffs and forms a hollowed pouch into which all sorts of yummy things may be stuffed. This is fun to bake and fun to eat. From "World Sourdoughs From Antiquity" by Ed Wood.
10 Puffs
Ingredients
- 4 cups proofed sourdough starter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup water (75 to 85 deg. F)
- 5 cups white bread flour
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon marjoram
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Directions
1
Measure starter into large mixing bowl.2
Add salt and sugar to the warm water and stir briefly to dissolve.3
Add this mixture to the starter and mix well.4
Add flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring until it is too stiff to mix by hand.5
Turn onto a floured surface and knead in remaining flour until dough is satiny.6
Divide into 10 equal balls.7
Roll the balls into flat rounds about 1/4 inch thick.8
Proof the rounds, covered, at 85 degrees F for 1 to 2 hours.9
Mix the olive oil, thyme, marjoram, and sesame seeds together and spread some on the surface of each round.10
Preheat the oven and the baking sheet to 450 degrees F and using a large spatula, slide the rounds onto the heated baking sheet one at a time.11
Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until the rounds puff up suddenly, forming a central cavity.12
Cool on wire racks.13
NOTE: This recipe can be halved and made in the bread machine on the dough cycle.14
Shape and bake as above.

Tasted very good and easy to make. Only they didn't puff up as I thought they should. But that could be because of my elevation of about 7000 ft and maybe bec. of my sourdough starter (which I am feeding and using since 2 yrs.)Maybe I need a new starter. I will definatly try them again.

I'll confess that I think there were some errors made on my part that really make this recipe seem worse than it was. 1) I used whole wheat flour, because I was out of bread flour. 2) I cooked 3 of these at a time instead of 1 at a time (didn't have enough baking sheets for this recipe) and didn't grease the pans before "proofing" them--big mistake, they were stuck! They have good texture, but they never really poofed up and made pockets, they are more like flatbread, which I'm thinking was because the wheat flour was too heavy. The thing about this recipe that would change for next time is that I would omit the Thyme and Marjoram and sub in garlic and basil instead. That's more a personal preference thing though, and not a fault with the recipe. Will keep trying til I get it right, thanks Donna M.!

This has been the most fun I've had with bread baking in awhile. I used the Red Sea Starter for this one. My loaves took about 5 minutes to 'poof'. I stuffed it with a pizza-type filling and baked it for 8 min at 350F to warm it. Definately a keeper.
