It is easy to look for recipes online, but it's difficult to pick the best, foolproof one — considering that there are countless entries even for the most common dishes and delicacies. So, we let ChatGPT — with all its data and AI capabilities — make the choice.

Khaleej Times asked the bot to give the 'best recipe' for Khobz Al Khameer, a traditional Middle Eastern round, flatbread that is typically served with dips, spreads, and other dishes.

ChatGPT says this particular recipe has been 'well received'.

"This yields a soft and fluffy traditional Khobz Al Khameer bread that's perfect for dipping in olive oil or for making sandwiches," it added.

Ingredients:

  • 500g flour (preferably coarse wholemeal flour)
  • 10g fresh yeast
  • 10g salt
  • 10g sugar
  • 300ml warm water

Instructions:

>> In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

>> Slowly pour in the warm water while kneading the mixture until it forms a dough.

>> Knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

>> Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

>> Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F).

>> Dust a clean surface with flour and turn out the risen dough. Divide it into equal portions and shape into rounds.

>> Use a sharp knife or razor blade to make shallow slashes on the surface of each round.

>> Place the rounds on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crusty.

>> Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
