Moon Bites (Aawwami)




Aawwami *

This is a popular dish not only in the Levant, but also  Turkey and Greece. In Syria, it is related to Al-Mshabak, so there is no store that sells Mshabak that does not sell Aawwama.  However, these two recipes are distinctly different. Aawwama dough is mainly made with white wheat flour and is usually prepared on the spot upon ordering. This is often to show off how skilled and fast the chef is at rolling the dough and throwing it in the skillet.

 

Ingredients: Flour, Corn Starch, Sugar Syrup, Yeast, Vegetable Oil, salt and Pistachio for topping
