To prepare this pastry, you need a pot that you can put in the oven with a lid (without plastic). Bake all night in the oven, and in the morning, a unique breakfast pastry will be waiting for you.
Serve with a basket of crushed tomatoes and chilli, a hard-boiled egg, and vegetable salad.
Ingredients:
- 1 kilo of plain white flour
- 80 g sticky dark brown sugar
- A tablespoon and a half of fine salt
- 20 g of baking powder
- 480 ml of tap water
- 7 ml of vinegar (a little less than a tablespoon)
- 2 spoons of honey mixed with 1/2 cup of warm water
- To lubricate the Jechanon:
- 250 g of melted butter
- 1/2 cup of oil in which the balls of dough are placed

Instructions:
- Mix water with brown sugar, water with honey, and salt in the mixer bowl.
- Add flour and baking powder and knead for 6-7 minutes until a smooth dough ball is obtained.
- Divide our dough into balls weighing 100 grams each and place them in a pan with 1/2 cup of oil.
- Roll the balls in oil so that they are covered with oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for two hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Melt butter in a bowl in the microwave.
- Open a ball of dough with your hands on a clean work surface. You can use a rolling pin at first.
- Open the dough as much as possible and gently stretch it from the middle to the sides until you get a large, thin rectangle.
- Spread melted butter on the dough rectangle.
- Fold the right side of the rectangle to the middle and the left side to the middle until you get a long and narrow rectangle.
- Again, spread melted butter on the dough and roll it into a roll.
- Place baking paper inside our Jechanon pot, arrange the rolls in layers, and close with the lid.
Put in a preheated oven at 100 degrees for a whole night (minimum 8 hours).
**You can freeze the Jahnuns when wrapped in cling film before/after baking. The Jahnun is baked directly from the freezer; there is no need to thaw.
