  HOW TO MAKE  MSEMEN ? 

 is a rich traditional, pancake-like bread of the Maghreb , most common to  Morocco, and Tunisia. These pancake-like breads are usually an accompaniment to a cup of aromatic morning mint tea or coffee. Msemen can be stuffed with vegetables or meat fillings also with cheez and honey and olives . 

HOW TO PRAPARE :

Msemen/Rghayef 

The recipe uses :

- flour, semolina,melted butter , dry yeast, salt, sugar and a bit of water.

These are mixed well together into a smooth dough mixture. The dough is cut into several balls, which are then rolled out on an oiled surface and folded into square pancakes.

The goal being to spread the dough into the thinnest square or circle and then fold the sides back into a square/ creating the signature layers of dough.

Once the msemen or Rghayef  is folded, another is spread that one is used to envelope a prior folded msemen so as to create about 8 internal layers of dough.

The key being that while one is folding, one must sprinkle semolina on the layers to prevent the layers from sticking entirely and to allow for the heat to then separate the layers when cooked on a griddle.

then when it ready you can share it with family or friends put it with tea and honey also you can use it with Olives oil and cheez .
