Martabak using sourdough starter

Martabak

Murtabak or martabak is a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread which is commonly found in Saudi Arabia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Brunei. (resource:wikipedia.com)

The sweet martabak is spread with butter/margarine, sugar, crushed peanuts, chocolate sprinkles, cheese and other toppings. Before serving, the martabak is folded in half, so the toppings get in the middle of martabak.

  2. Indonesian-style thick pancake with natural yeast is one of the most favored of recent trending foods on earth. It’s simple, it is fast, it tastes delicious. There are many recipes to make martabak, from using the soda water and baking soda to the one which use yeast. Mix in the santan and yeast mixture little by. Every Indonesian has a personal favourite martabak or at least know a famous one. The golden brown skin was crisp while the inside was tender, moist and spongy as it was full of air pockets. Our pancake made with fine quality ingredients and toppings.
