Soft and fluffy Moroccan batbout bread cooked in a pan, creating a light, airy pocket perfect for sandwiches or serving with savory dishes.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 breads

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fine semolina flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 to 1 1/4 cups warm water

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, semolina, salt, and sugar.
  2. Add instant yeast and stir to combine.
  3. Pour in olive oil and gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place dough in a bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide into small balls.
  7. Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Let discs rest for 15–20 minutes.
  9. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each disc for 2–3 minutes per side until puffed and golden.
  10. Remove and keep covered with a cloth. Serve warm or cool before storing.

Notes

  • Do not add too much flour during kneading to keep bread soft.
  • Ensure pan is properly heated for the bread to puff.
  • Use part whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • Add milk instead of some water for a softer texture.
  • Freeze cooked bread for longer storage.
