Also known as Malawah

Malawach or melawwaḥ (Hebrew: מלוואח), is a Jewish Yemenite flatbread that is traditional in Yemeni cuisine taken as Israeli cuisine. The name of the dish comes from the Arabic "", literally “board-like bread”. It was brought to Israel by Yemenite Jews. Malawach resembles a thick pancake but consists of thin layers of puff pastry brushed with oil or fat and cooked flat in a frying pan. It is traditionally served with hard-boiled eggs, zhug, and resek agvaniyot. Sometimes it is served with honey.
