About this recipe

These crispy breadsticks are a keeper! Quick and easy homemade breadsticks are perfect with many dips or as an irresistible snack. This will be the talk of your dinner party. Za’atar spice, sumac, and salt go perfectly well with these. I love serving them in a simple vase. You can oil and bake these breadsticks too. Just remember to handle them very gently. I always make more because I break a few along the way.

Notes from Rouba

  • Crispy breadsticks can be prepared up two days ahead of your event.
  • You can keep crispy bread in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Method

Step 1.

Tear smaller pieces of the Arabic flatbread by hand enough to make two layers at the base of the vase for elevation. Cut the remaining Arabic flatbread into strips with the kitchen scissors.

Step 2.

Deep fry bread in small batches until crispy and golden in colour. Don’t overcrowd the frying pan, and make sure they’re fried evenly on all sides. They take less than a minute to fry.

Step 3.

Jazz up the flavours of your breadsticks by sprinkling them with sumac or za’atar.

Alternatively, you can toast the bread by tearing or cutting the bread, brushing it with olive oil, and baking it at 190°degrees for a few minutes until lightly browned.

Step 4.

Serve these with my delicious avocado hummus, smoky eggplant salad, and tzatziki. The simple addition of these dips with some crispy breadsticks makes the best appetizers for your grazing tables and cheeseboards.

  1. This looks like a crackle bread I loved in an east Indian restaurant in Las Vegas. Where do you find Arabic flatbread?

This post is meant to be a recipe, but I can’t ignore what’s been happening 👉🏽👉🏽The last seven months have been incredibly challenging, watching thousands of innocent Palestinians being slaughtered in the name of self-defence 💔 It’s an excuse to ethnically cleanse the indigenous people of the land. But what I’ve seen in the last 24 hours has absolutely shattered me 😞

Families were told to move for their safety, only to be burnt alive. I forced myself to watch videos of beheaded babies—images that will never leave my mind. The destruction, the horrific scenes, and the screams are etched in our hearts and minds💔

And yet, our government responds with a mere, “It’s concerning.” Our tax money has contributed to the slaughter of these innocent people; our tax money has contributed to funding this genocide. 

I feel heartbroken and helpless. How can the world just watch? How can anyone say, “I’m staying out of this”?

I’m not ok. Are you?
With so many new followers here, today feels like the right time to reintroduce myself, as it also marks the 76th anniversary of the Nakba—a day of remembrance for the Palestinian people, including my family🇵🇸🌟 

I’m Rouba, 40+7 years young, and I’ve been happily married for 28 years🙏🏽 Those who follow my stories know my husband is quite the character, always keeping things lively 😅 We have two wonderful sons, and my mother-in-law is truly amazing—she often features in my stories ❤️

I’m a big foodie, with a special love for hummus fatteh, ofcourse the  Lebanese 🇱🇧 version 😉 it’s my absolute favourite! I believe Middle Eastern food is the yummiest in the world. 🙌🏼 And yes, I’m proudly pro-Palestine, married to a Palestinian. 

Seventy-five years ago, my husband’s grandfather and his family were evicted from their home. This history is a significant part of our lives 💔

Thanks for joining me here, where we celebrate rich flavours, vibrant stories, and the resilience of a remarkable culture.

Welcome to my journey! FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
