Method
- 01 Crush the mint leaves. Peel the krouia and garlic, then crush them with a little salt.
- 02 Heat the oil in a pot and add the harissa dissolved in a large cup of water, tomato paste and paprika. Let the mixture boil for about a quarter of an hour, then add the crushed garlic and krouia.
- 03 Dissolve the yeast bread dough in one and a half liters of water and strain it through a fine sieve. Pour the liquid into the pot while stirring.
- 04 When boiling, reduce the heat and continue cooking for half an hour, stirring constantly so that the dough does not clump.

Notes
The yeast referred to here is yeast bread dough, not 200 grams of commercial bread yeast.
