Msemen with Spices

Msemen with Spices is a delightful Moroccan brunch dish featuring flaky, layered flatbreads infused with aromatic spices. Served warm, these vegan pastries are perfect for dipping or enjoying with a variety of toppings.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Semolina - 50 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina, and salt. Gradually add warm water while mixing until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, black pepper, and chopped parsley to create a spice oil.
4. Divide the rested dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 20 cm in diameter.
5. Brush each circle with the spice oil mixture, then fold the edges towards the center to create a square or rectangle. Flatten gently.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each msemen for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve warm with extra spice oil for dipping or alongside your favorite vegan toppings.
