The name Murtabak in Arabic means "folded". This is a savory pan-fried bread filled with minced meat and eggs which can be served as a snack or a complete meal. This bread originated in Yemen but also spread to Asian Countries.

Mutabbaq (Arabic: مطبق) - also referred to as Murtabak - is a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread which is commonly found in the Arabian Peninsula, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, notably in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Southern Thailand and Bangladesh (Mughlai paratha). Depending on the location, the name and ingredients can significantly vary. The most common form of Murtabak is made from pan-fried crepes usually stuffed with beaten eggs, chopped leeks, chives, or green onion (scallions), and minced meat, which is then folded and cut to squares.

*THE TRADITIONAL WAY*
Traditionally, the dough for the mutabbaq (murtabak) is made with all-purpose flour and it has to be rolled really thin. The filling is made up of cooked minced meat, eggs, chopped tomatoes, and lots of green onions. And then we pan-fry it in a little bit of oil on medium-high heat so that the eggs cook through and the pancake parcel becomes all crispy and golden. This is all very well and good, and if you have time, by all means, go for the authentic way of making this Mutabbaq (murtabak). BUT if you want an easy way, keep reading below. 😀

*THE BRILLIANT HACK*
So this is where Mutabbaq gets extremely easy to make. Instead of making the dough from scratch, and rolling it super thin, you can simply use spring roll wrappers. YES! This is totally what I do in my real life. I mean I love to take shortcuts in cooking when I can, and you can trust me when I say this: It tastes as delicious as a Mutabbaq made from scratch.

*HOW TO MAKE THE DOUGH*
Add the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer or a mixing bowl if kneading by hand.
Add the oil.
Add the salt.
Knead on slow speed while adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time. You will not need to add all of the water.
Knead for about 3-4 minutes until the dough forms into a smooth ball.

If you are kneading by hand this will take about 8-9 minutes. The dough should be smooth, cohesive and non-sticky. It should be a soft dough.
Transfer the dough to a bowl, and brush with a little bit of oil.
Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

*Make the “crepe pancake” wrapper*
Divide the prepared dough into 3 small balls.
Roll out each ball very thin, into a rectangular shape. It does not have to be perfect. The dough should be rolled out so thin that it is almost see-through. This ensures a well-cooked meat filling and crispy exterior.
Add meat filling in the middle of the rolled-out dough.
