Malawah

Khubz mulawah, also known as mulawah or rashush, is a Yemeni flatbread cooked in a traditional tannur in Yemeni cuisine. Yemenite Jews introduced a similar bread, malawach, to Israel. On weekends, mulawah is commonly eaten for breakfast with ghee and honey.

Malawah is one of numerous types of bread consumed in Yemen. It is distinct in that it is stacked and folded with butter or ghee within, which makes it extremely delectable. This bread is most likely to be found at the various restaurants in Sanaa, Aden, Hodeidah, and other regions of the country. It is also commonly served in a single or malawah double dish and is folded on the table to protect it from cooling and becoming too crispy.

This style of bread is virtually solely available in restaurants and is seldom cooked at home. It has a semi-crispy crust and is stacked and filled with butter. It should ideally be served hot and folded over on a regular basis to prevent it from chilling too rapidly.
