“Assida Bidha” White Flour Pudding

🗓 16.12.25

This creamy porridge has warmed Tunisian hearts for generations made from just flour and water, then transformed into pure comfort with a drizzle of golden olive oil and honey. Whether it’s a cozy breakfast or a celebration of our heritage, Assida Bidha reminds us that the most authentic flavors come from the simplest ingredients.

INGREDIENTS:

500 g of flour
1 liter of water
A pinch of salt

Topping:
Extra virgin olive oil
Honey
Dates

PREPARATION

In a pot, dissolve the flour in the water and add a pinch of salt. Place over heat and stir with a wooden spatula. Add a little water when the mixture becomes thick. As soon as the first lumps appear, work the mixture until a smooth cream is obtained. Remove from the heat when the mixture starts to bubble. Transfer to a serving dish and top with honey, extra virgin olive oil, and dates.
