Msemen (Moroccan square griddle flatbread)

Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup fine semolina
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups, plus more as needed warm water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/2 cup semolina for shaping

Let’s make it

1. Mix flour, semolina, salt, and warm water into a soft dough; knead 8 minutes until smooth, then rest 20 minutes.
2. Divide into 12 balls. Oil a work surface, stretch each ball thin, and brush with oil-butter mix.
3. Fold into a square parcel, resting 10 minutes if needed so the dough relaxes.
4. Cook on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
5. Serve warm with honey, jam, or cheese.
