Lahhah

Lahhah refers to a traditional Middle Eastern and North African dish, often described as a form of savory pancake or crepe. While variations exist across different regions, the core ingredients typically include flour, water, and sometimes eggs or milk, creating a thin batter. This batter is then cooked on a hot griddle or pan until golden brown and slightly crispy.

The preparation of lahha can be a communal activity, particularly during festive occasions or as a breakfast staple. It is often served with a variety of accompaniments, ranging from sweet toppings like honey, date syrup, or fruit preserves, to savory options such as cheese, herbs, or spiced meats. The texture of lahha can vary depending on the thickness of the batter and the cooking method, from delicate and almost ethereal to slightly chewier. In some cultures, it is also used as a base for other dishes, serving as a wrap or a vehicle for various fillings. The exact origin and name can differ, with similar dishes found under names like "Msemen" in Morocco or "Roti" in other parts of the Middle East.
