- I used my own recipe to make a traditional Maltese sourdough flattened, better known as Ftira.
Ftira is a ring-shaped bread famous in Malta and Gozo, also known as Ftira Ghawdxija.
Ftira is a beloved staple in Malta, known for its unique texture and rich flavor.
Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a beginner, this step-by-step guide will help you create this iconic bread at home.
Maltese ftira is a bread also known as Ħobż biż-żejtt (bread with oil).
It is usually eaten with local ingredients such as tuna, olives, onions or pickled onions, broad beans, capers and gbejna tal bzar (peppered goat cheese).
This type of bread is served on these islands, and also served as a pizza differently with potatoes and Maltese sausage.
Maltese ftira is the first local product to be included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list.
If you visit the islands of Malta and Gozo, don't miss to try the Ftira Bread.

Thank you for your comment, yes, you should try ❤😊
These are good things.Keep posting and good work.
Thank you so much
The best Maltese Bread ever ❤
Hello Antoine, thank you for sharing the recipe! I was wondering though how long you approximately leave the dough for the bulk fermentation after laminating it?
Hello, Thank you for your comment, I leave the dough to rise about 75% before shaping from the initial stage.
Did work 😊 I added some tiny amount of fresh yeast after the fermentolyse, but not more than a tiny lump the size of a pea. Made the recipe twice and worked out well both times. The bulk fermentation took less than an hour at hot summer weather and 2 hours at cooler temperatures, I guess it depends a lot on weather, flavour, condition of the starter and, for cowards like me, amount of additional yeast. However, the results are really worth the effort!
@annapetri-satter844 Thank you so much that you tried my recipe and you are happy with it the result. Yes the weather is take part of the process. Here in Malta with high humidity is more hardly to work with dough. As you mentioned the temperature in your environment is the key factor. But for me this is the most delicious bread. Thank you for watching my recipes.
Excellent, this answers the question that I had. The instruction for bulk fermentation gets lost with the guitar music. Perhaps a bit quite for future videos. Many thanks.
@iandewar5620 Thank you for commend and especial for your note.
Great Maltese Ftira!!!

Autolyse is without the starter ?
