MSEMEN (MOROCCAN FLATBREADS)



Msemen (Moroccan Flatbreads) image

The Moroccan pan-fried flatbread known as msemen is usually eaten for breakfast and teatime. The process of flattening and rolling the dough might seem intimidating, but these layered breads are actually not complicated or very time-consuming to make. Serve them warm or at room temperature with anything you fancy. To enjoy them sweet, eat with melted butter and honey, or go the savory route with ricotta and olive oil.

Categories     breakfast, snack, breads

Time 1h15m

Yield 9 msemen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup plus 3 tablespoons/150 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon/150 grams semolina flour, plus more for the dough
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 ounces/140 milliliters warm water (about 1/2 cup), plus more if needed
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as sunflower or canola, plus more for greasing
2 tablespoons/30 grams unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Place the flours, salt, warm water and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix and form a soft, smooth dough. If the mixture is too dry, gradually add a couple tablespoons of warm water. If it's too sticky, gradually add teaspoons of semolina flour. Once your dough is soft and smooth, lightly dust a work surface with semolina flour and knead the dough for about 8 minutes, until supple and elastic.
  • Lightly grease a sheet pan with oil. Divide the dough into 9 equal pieces and form each into a ball. Place the balls on the sheet pan and use your hands or a brush to lightly rub the balls with oil, cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and melted butter. Generously oil your work surface and place a ball of dough on it. Flatten the ball lightly and spoon about 1/2 teaspoon butter mixture on top. Using your hands, flatten the dough as thin as you can to make an 8- to 10-inch circle and lightly sprinkle some semolina flour over the dough.
  • Fold the msemen: Fold one-third of the top and bottom of the dough towards the center as you would to fold a letter, then fold one-third of the dough from the left and right sides towards the center to make about a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2-inch square. Place the folded msemen on the oiled work surface and cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap. Repeat until you have folded all the dough balls, adding more oil to your work surface as necessary.
  • Lightly oil and heat a griddle or a nonstick pan over medium-high. Transfer a folded msemen to the work surface, spoon another 1/2 teaspoon of the butter mixture on top and flatten it using your hands to make a 6-inch square. Gently place the flattened msemen on the warm pan and cook, turning several times and adjusting the heat and adding more oil to the pan as necessary, until golden and starting to puff, 60 to 90 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining msemen. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MOROCCAN FLAT BREAD



Moroccan Flat Bread image

It's not often that you see women cooking on the street in North Africa unless they are making this bread. They stand behind large flat griddles on which they cook the bread, flattening it further with their fingers, not seeming to mind the heat. Some occasionally dip their fingers in a small bowl of oil to drizzle on the bread while it is cooking - this slightly greasier version is definitely better. Courtesy Anissa Helou.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for the filling
1 medium onion, very finely chopped
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Stir the yeast into a scant ½ cup tepid water and leave for about 5 minutes.
  • Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and yeast water, gradually working it in, until the dough is slightly wetter than that for bread. Knead with your hands for 10 minutes, or until completely smooth and pliable.
  • Put all the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl, add salt to taste and mix together well.
  • Smear your work surface and hands with butter and divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Flatten one portion with your fingers into a very thin square, stretching it as you finish - be careful not to tear it. Spread a quarter of the filling over one half and fold the plain side over. Fold again to form a square. Flatten as thin as possible with your fingers.
  • Grease a large nonstick frying pan with a little butter and place over medium-high heat. Place the folded dough in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden all over. Remove and place on parchment paper. Repeat the procedure to make the rest of the breads, buttering your hands, work surface and pan before making each one. Serve hot or warm.

MOROCCAN FLATBREAD PIZZAS (CAN BE WW)



Moroccan Flatbread Pizzas (Can Be Ww) image

This gorgeous recipe has bright, fresh flavours and looks fantastic. It is also Weight Watchers friendly- the version I made was 11 points per serving, using the leanest ground beef and low fat yoghurt. The last ingredient should read "4 garlic and coriander MINI naan breads" but Recipezaar could not recognise it- these naan breads are about the size of a hand and should be garlic and coriander flavour as plain ones just don't give the same flavour!

Provided by Shuzbud

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 25m

Yield 4 naan mini-pizzas, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 red onion
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves
1 lb fresh ground beef or 1 lb fresh ground lamb
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup plain natural yoghurt (can use Greek)
4 naan bread (garlic and coriander, should not be plain naan breads)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
  • Finely dice the red onion and finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
  • In a non-stick skillet, cook the ground beef or lamb for 2 minutes, mashing it into smaller pieces with a spatula.
  • Add the red onion, cumin, pine nuts, paprika and lemon juice.
  • Cook the beef or lamb mixture until the meat is completely cooked, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spread all but 3 tablespoons of the yoghurt onto the four naan breads, as you would spread tomato sauce on a pizza and put in the oven to warm through for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the meat mixture from the heat and stir through the remaining 3 tablespoons of yoghurt.
  • Remove the naan breads from the oven. Share the meat mixture between the naan breads and put back in the oven for 5 minutes (don't leave it in the oven for too long as the meat would dry out and fall apart on the plate).
  • Remove from the oven, scatter with the fresh parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • To make the flatbread, you will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil, and water.
  • If you don't have baking powder, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
  • You can use any type of toppings you like on your flatbread pizzas.
  • Some popular topping ideas include cheese, pepperoni, vegetables, and meat.
  • To make the flatbread pizzas in the oven, preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake the flatbread pizzas for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • To make the flatbread pizzas on the grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Grill the flatbread pizzas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the crust is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

Moroccan flatbread pizzas are versatile and delicious. You can make them with any type of toppings you like, and they can be cooked in the oven or on the grill. Experiment with different toppings and cooking methods to find your favorite way to make these flatbread pizzas.
