Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, extra fine semolina, sugar, and salt. Gradually add water while mixing to form a smooth dough.
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes soft, smooth, and elastic.
2. Rest the Dough:
Cover and Rest: Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes. This helps relax the gluten, making the dough more pliable for shaping.
3. Shape the Msemen:
Divide the Dough: Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls.
Flatten and Shape: On a lightly greased surface, flatten each ball into a thin circle using your hands.
Butter and Fold: Brush each circle with melted butter, sprinkle with extra fine semolina, and then fold the sides to create a square shape. Repeat the process with all dough balls.
4. Cook the Msemen:
Heat the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Cook Until Golden Brown: Place each square on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
Enjoy Warm: Serve the Msemen warm, paired with honey, jam, or savory fillings like cheese or cooked vegetables.
