Zlebia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zlebia or Zlabia is a type of pastry eaten in parts of north-west Africa such as Morocco and Tunisia.

Typical ingredients include flour, 1/2 spoon yeast soup, 1 1/2 spoons of yoghourt soup and sugar. This is then mixed with water and commonly two seeds of cardamone (oil for the crackling). [1]

Kairouan in Tunisia is noted for its Zlebia pastries which are sold at the World Heritage Site.
