Ramadan Mubarak!

As we enter the blessed month of Ramadan, our hearts are filled with excitement and gratitude for this sacred time of reflection, spiritual growth, and devotion. Ramadan is a time to fast from dawn to sunset and an opportunity to strengthen our connection with Allah (God), purify our hearts, and ground ourselves spiritually. It's a month of heightened devotion, prayer, and good deeds—a month every Muslim eagerly awaits.

This is a time to remember the struggles of those facing hunger, poverty, war, or oppression. Ramadan is an opportunity to grow in empathy and gratitude for our blessings, to be big-hearted and not wasteful. It teaches compassion and encourages kindness, generosity, and service to others.

Charity is especially encouraged during Ramadan. No matter how small, every good deed is magnified, and Allah's mercy is abundant, especially this month. Every act of kindness and generosity this month brings greater rewards and is a great way to cultivate better habits. 

Fasting also has numerous scientific benefits, enhancing physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being.

As we embark on this month of reflection, gratitude, and charity, let us also remember to keep those being tested worldwide in our thoughts and prayers, offering support and love in any way we can. May this Ramadan bring peace, joy, and spiritual growth.

This 3-Ingredient Dough is super easy to make—it literally has three ingredients (if we minus the toppings)! It's also an excellent way to use up any Greek yoghurt you may have in the fridge, while adding more protein into your diet.

I took the opportunity to bring some Middle Eastern fusion to my Iftaar table, with the Za'atar and Sumac spices. Both spices bring another level of flavour to the rolls, balancing tangy, earthy and slightly citrusy - not in an overpowering way. 
You can make plain dinner rolls, burger buns or sliders. You can also make stuffed rolls like I did and change the stuffing to whatever options you have, such as other cheeses or meats. Another option for this 3-Ingredient Dough is to make pizza, calzones, or flatbread. 


Quick Note


  • This recipe yeilds 1 large pizza/calzone. Depending on how big you'd like your dinner rolls or stuffed rolls, you can make approximately 12 burger-size buns and 24 small rolls (like the ones in the picture).
  • As you mix the ingredients to form the dough, if it's coming together and seems too dry or sticky, you may need to add more flour or Greek yogurt. Do not add too much or immediately; first, knead the dough, ensuring all the ingredients are combined. 
  • Leaving it to rest before rolling is a must, 15 - 30 minutes.

4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it into a large, even circle. Now, if you're making pizza, calzones, or anything else with this dough recipe, you would not continue the other steps except determining how long to bake it.

5. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, make horizontal and vertical cuts through the dough to create a grid of small squares (about 2-3 inches wide).

7. Carefully fold the edges of each square corner over the cheese, bringing the sides together to enclose the filling. Pinch them to seal each roll securely till you're left with a dough ball, adding them to the lined baking pan.
