Rghayef

Rghayef is a traditional Moroccan dessert featuring layers of thin dough filled with protein-rich ingredients, creating a unique and flavorful treat. This high-protein version is enhanced with almond flour and a touch of honey, making it both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Almond flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Warm water - 100 ml
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Cinnamon powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Butter - 20 grams, melted
• Chopped almonds - 30 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
2. Create a well in the center and add the egg and warm water. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a thin circle, about 20 cm in diameter.
5. Brush each circle with melted butter and sprinkle a mixture of honey, cinnamon, and chopped almonds on top.
6. Fold the dough circle into quarters, then shape it into a spiral or coil, tucking the edges in.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each coil for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
8. Remove from the skillet, drizzle with more honey if desired, and serve warm.
