Homemade Laffa Bread
We heard about Laffa bread for the first time while watching Sergio & Rhoda’s YouTube channel and wanted to try it for ourselves, so after some research, we came up with this recipe! If you don’t know what this bread is it’s a Levantine flatbread that is traditionally baked in a taboon oven or a tannur.
