Homemade Msakhan Bread! (مسخن)

Hello everybody.

Due to weather conditions it’ll be risky to go out and stuck in snow and since the plan was to make msakhan today

so I decided to bake the bread at home,after searching many websites to find a way of baking it in a regular oven I found this good one,very easy and outcome was superb !!

 

Msakhan is an old traditional dish made from chicken,onions,plenty of summaq and olive oil all placed on special kind of bread with nuts on top.

ingredients and method of bread:

Note : this quantity makes 4-5 bread pieces.

* 2 cups flour.

* 1 tsp salt.

* 1/2 cup warm milk.

* 1 1/2 spoons instant yeast.

* 1 tsp sugar.

* 1 cup warm water.

 

* Mix water,yeast and sugar and cover till bubbles are formed.

* add to flour milk and salt.

* knead well by hands for 10 minutes.

* cover and leave to rest and rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

* divide to 4-5 balls.

* roll or spread them into bread shape.

* heat the oven very well with a big oven tray in it.

* when well heated turn on the upper flame .

* place the breads on the tray and bake till surface is golden,bottoms will be done cause tray is already very hot.

* do all breads the same way,make sure the pan is always very hot before each batch.

 

You can do these not only for msakhan,actually boys ate some as is before lunch. Fresh bread is the best food ever 🙂

Chicken Rolls (مسخن روﻻت ).

Hello everybody.

Going out for breakfast with my lovely friends today. Wanted something easy to make when I come back. So I prepared the stuffing and made rolls  quickly before lunch time.

This dish is an easier version of a big main dish called Msakhan (مسخن ) which is usually done in lunch gatherings, people make it when fresh virgin olive oil is  in season. It Consists of a special kind of bread dipped in onions and summaq cooked in olive oil with roasted chicken and nuts on top. All in one big serving tray.
Today I made an easier smaller scale musakhan by rolling chicken and onions mix into thin bread then roasting them.

Ingredients and method:
* 1 cooked chicken.remove skin and bones.
* 2-3 chopped onions.
* 2 big spoons summaq.
* 10 large thin bread (شراك ) cut to quarters.
* toasted pine nuts (optional)
* olive oil.
* 1 cup chicken broth.

* shred chicken to small pieces.
* cover onions with oil and cook slowly till tender a bit.
* add the chicken, summaq, broth, salt and pepper and leave to simmer till liquid is lessened.
* put mixture in a sieve when done to remove excess liquid.
* roll mixture in bread pieces then line them in a greased pan.
* bake in a medium heated oven till golden all over.
* serve with yoghurt.

I had excess bread pieces so I made some cheese rolls and took out some spring rolls from freezer and baked all together.
I did some sweet and sour sauce as a dip by mixing soysauce, ketchup, sugar, vinegar with cup of water and starch then boil till thick. Great dip !

Turned out a nice quick lunch.
Enjoy♡♥♡♥.
