kcalIngredients
- For the Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup semolina flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water (as needed)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- For Folding and Cooking:
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup semolina flour (for sprinkling)
- For Serving:
Honey 🍯
Butter 🧈
Directions
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, semolina, salt, and sugar. Slowly add warm water, kneading the dough until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes). Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Shape and Layer: Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball with your hands, brush with melted butter and oil, and sprinkle with semolina. Fold the dough into a square shape by folding the edges into the center.
- Flatten and Cook: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Flatten each square with your hands to about 1/4-inch thick. Cook the Msemen on the griddle, flipping every 1-2 minutes until golden and crispy on both sides.
- Serve Warm: Serve the Msemen warm with a generous drizzle of honey and a dollop of butter.
Notes
- You can freeze the dough squares for later use—just defrost and cook as needed.
- Use semolina flour for an extra flaky texture.
- For a savory version, serve with cheese or olives!
