1 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | cups | Kosher salt |
| 8 | cups | All-purpose flour; plus additional |
| For rolling out dough | ||
| ¼ | cup | Dried oregano |
| ¼ | cup | Dried thyme |
| ¼ | cup | Chopped dried rosemary |
| ¼ | cup | Fennel seeds |
| ¼ | cup | Cumin seeds |
| 8 | Egg whites | |
| 4 | cups | Cold water |
Directions
Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and knead in the bowl until completely mixed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. When ready to use, dust a large piece of parchment paper with flour. Place a portion of the dough on the paper and cover with a second piece of parchment. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness. Remove the top piece of parchment. Invert the dough over the food to be covered and remove the other sheet of parchment. Adjust the shape of the dough and remove any excess as needed. This recipe yields enough dough for 4 chickens or lamb loins.
