Aish Merahrah is an Egyptian flat bread similar to the Lebanese markouk made with 5 -10 % ground fenugreek seeds and maize. Composed of maize flour that has been made into a soft dough that is fermented overnight with a sourdough starter, shaped into round loaves that are then allowed to rise or “proof” for 30 minutes before being flattened into round disks that are then baked. They can be kept for days in an airtight container. The addition of fenugreek seeds increases the protein content, storage length and digestability of the bread
