“In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread”: During this exciting workshop you will experience first-hand how to make bread from scratch. You will grind wheat grains yourselves with millstones and turn them into flour. Knead the dough, maintain the fire, and of course bake the pita bread on the saj, and the libbe – traditional Bedouin bread – inside the embers.
We strongly recommend adding a traditional Bedouin meal to your activity!
(Mark your choice in the form above)
Mansaf: A mountain of rice is laid over a layer of freshly baked pita bread, with cooked & seasoned meat on top (we serve chicken), seasonal vegetables on the side, and other surprises according to the host family’s taste.
Magluba(“upside down” in Arabic): Vegetables and meat (chicken) are cooked on the bottom of the pot, with a layer of rice above them to absorb the flavors from below. The pot is turned upside down on a round tray when served, creating a mountain of rice with the meat and vegetables on top.
include libbe (bread baked inside the fire embers and hot sand) or fresh pita bread straight from the saj with labaneh or afik (dried goat cheese), tahina, fresh vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, olive oil and za’atar.
