Msemmen au Sucre is a delightful Moroccan sweet flatbread, perfect for brunch, featuring a crispy exterior and a soft, flaky interior. Served warm with a dusting of sugar, it embodies the rich flavors of Moroccan cuisine.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Semolina - 50 grams
• Warm water - 150 milliliters
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Butter - 50 grams, melted
• Cooking oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Powdered sugar - for dusting

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina, salt, and sugar.
2. Gradually add the warm water while mixing to form a soft dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
5. On a lightly greased surface, flatten a dough ball with your hands into a thin round shape, about 20 cm in diameter.
6. Brush the surface with melted butter and fold the dough into quarters to create a square shape. Repeat with the other balls.
7. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil.
8. Fry each folded dough square for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and keep warm.
10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy warm.
