1 kilo flour
2 tsp salt

Preparation:

Place towel over basin and leave for 15 minutes to rise. Knead some more and then leave for 2 hours. Break into handfuls and work each piece into a round flat shape before placing on upturned wok over an open flame. When it begins to rise, turn over.

I haven't had any good Iraqi bread since I visited El Cajon, CA. Maybe I could make it myself but I would rather get it from someone who knows how to make it well. I wonder if I can get any in Chicago.

Hahahaha! Where there is a will, there is a way. Upside down wok, nice! However, you would have to have this on a fire for it to work. I am not even sure if a gas stove would allow this to work, I suppose it would depend on the size of the burner... I doubt this would work on an electric stove... but I wonder...
