Your recipe instructions and comments reminds me of a story I heard and then witnessed in Khamis Mushayt, Saudi Arabia. Saudi bread is very similar to the Lebanese Khebez or bread and the same comment about some of the bread landing on the floor is the same. I witnessed the making of 'Arabic bread' or tameez in the village of Khamis Mushayt in Saudi Arabia. The bread was made in a small shop on an automated batching and conveyor system. No human hands touched the process. At the end of the conveyor belt all of the bread fell on the ground/dirt. This seemed normal for all of the workers I talked too. Still not sure of the meaning of some of the bread falls to the ground?
