Mlewi: Tunisian Flaky Flatbread Recipe

Mlewi, a traditional Tunisian flatbread

Mlewi is a traditional Tunisian flatbread, made with simple ingredients and folded into a soft, flaky round. Cooked on a hot griddle, it’s enjoyed on its own with honey or olive oil, or used as a base for sandwiches filled with harissa, tuna, eggs, or cheese. Street vendors in Tunisia prepare it fresh to order, making it one of the most beloved everyday foods.
