Bread Topped with Meat

Sfiha is a favourite in day-to-day family cooking and can be carried in a lunch box to school or to the office. It serves very well as finger food for a party or buffet dinner. Many believe that the success of sfiha lies in the dough; however, a failed stuffing can spoil even the best of dough. In the Bethlehem area, tahineh is an important component of the stuffing, which, combined with vinegar, gives it an interesting combination of nutty and acid flavours.
