Let’s make Msammen, a delicious Moroccan bread perfect for breakfast with a cup of green mint tea! It’s buttery, flakey, and so light, similar to paratha or roti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Msammen<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>
  • 1 cup extra fine semolina flour<\/li>
  • 2 teaspoons salt<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon sugar<\/li>
  • 1 1\/2 cups warm water<\/li>
  • 1 cup melted ghee<\/li>
  • 1\/2 cup extra fine semolina (for dusting)<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
    \n\t\t
    1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, fine semolina flour, salt, and sugar.<\/li>
    2. Add the warm water and combine until a firm, non-sticky dough forms.<\/li>
    3. Knead the dough for 5 minutes using a stand mixer with a dough hook or 8 to 10 minutes by hand. The dough will seem tough but will soften as it rests.<\/li>
    4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it sit overnight.<\/li>
    5. The next day, divide the dough into 8 equal balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 30 minutes.<\/li>
    6. On a clean surface, spread a bit of ghee and grease your hands.<\/li>
    7. Take one dough ball and spread it thinly into a large square or rectangle.<\/li>
    8. Fold the long sides towards the middle, adding ghee and semolina between folds.<\/li>
    9. Fold the top and bottom towards the center, adding ghee and semolina.<\/li>
    10. Use a rolling pin to flatten the square into a thin square.<\/li>
    11. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and grease with ghee.<\/li>
    12. Cook the Msammen on each side for 2 to 4 minutes until golden and bubbly.<\/li>
    13. Repeat with the remaining dough, greasing the pan with ghee each time.<\/li>
    14. Enjoy warm with honey, butter, or jam.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
      \n\t\t
        \n
      • If the dough is too dry, add a splash of water. If too sticky, add a tablespoon of all-purpose flour.<\/li>\n
      • Don’t be afraid to use plenty of ghee for that authentic flavor!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
