An old traditional Lebanese bread called Markouk. The dough is flattened by a complex yet extravagant hands & arms moves. Few people still make it, they are usually high altitude villagers.

I like the way the bread catches the light, and mimics the folds in her clothes.

Could be the same, what differs is the cooking methods that gives slightly different flavors. The technique is what is getting forgotten since only old generations still practice it. It involves flattening the dough by moving it from arm to arm in a very fast moves. They don't use fingers or any other device to do it.

Wonderful photographs!

 

I use Markouk to make Mousakhan, there is an international grocery store close to me that occasionally has the bread.
