- • 3/4 tsp salt
- • 2 1/2 cups warm water
Preparation Steps

Phase 1
Whisk the flour, semolina, yeast, sugar, salt, and water into a thin pancake batter, smoother than cake batter.
2
Phase 2
Cover and leave 1-3 hours until bubbly, frothy, and slightly sour-smelling.

Phase 3
Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium heat, pour in a ladle of batter, and cook on one side only until the top dries and becomes full of holes.

Phase 4
Do not flip; stack the lahoh face-up under a towel to keep them soft.
