sullat

Sullat is a traditional South Arabian dish, particularly popular in Yemen. It is a type of flatbread made from a dough primarily composed of wheat flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of salt or yeast. The preparation involves kneading the dough and then flattening it into thin rounds. Sullat is typically cooked on a hot, dry surface, such as a griddle or a saj, without the addition of oil or fat. This method results in a bread that is often slightly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a characteristic blistered appearance from the high heat. The simplicity of its ingredients and preparation makes it a staple food, often served as an accompaniment to various Yemeni stews, curries, and grilled meats. It can also be eaten on its own or used to scoop up flavorful sauces. Variations may exist in regional recipes, with some incorporating different types of flour or minor additions for flavor or texture. The term "sullat" itself refers specifically to this type of unleavened or lightly leavened flatbread.
