  • cups water + more if dough seems dry
  • tablespoon cane sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon cumin
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • tablespoons Vital Farms butter + more for greasing workspace, (room temperature)

Tomato-Parsley Salad:

  • red onion, (diced)
  • ⅔ cups sliced cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup parsley, (finely chopped)
  • tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Sunny-Side-Up Egg

  • Vital Farms Eggs, (cooked sunny-side up)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, cumin, and black pepper.

  2. Add 3/4 cups water and mix by hand until the dough comes together. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry or crumbly.

  3. Knead on a lightly buttered surface (and with greased hands as needed) for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and springy.

  4. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. After chilling, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.

  7. Working one at a time, pull and stretch each piece as thin as possible, then lightly spread butter on top.

  8. Fold into thirds, then again into a square, and place on the parchment-lined sheet.

  9. Chill folded dough squares in the fridge for another hour.

  10. Roll out each chilled square into a round, about 1/8-inch thick.

  11. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter. Cook each malawach for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and flaky.

  12. Just before ready to serve, combine all of the Tomato-Parsley Salad ingredients together into a small mixing bowl, and stir. Set aside to marinate while preparing the garlic tahini.

  13. Add the tahini, olive oil, salt and garlic powder to a small bowl, and stir to combine.

  14. Allow the Malawach to cool slightly, then assemble each with a sunny-side-up egg. Divide the Tomato-Parsley Salad and Tahini Garlic Sauce. Wrap up, and enjoy!
