Crispy Moroccan Msemmen with Wildflower Honey

Combine the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Gradually add the warm water while mixing with your hand until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.

Add the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes very supple and elastic. The dough should be soft but not stick to your hands.

Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Place them on an oiled surface, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 20 minutes.

Mix the softened butter with the extra semolina to create a paste for laminating. Oil your work surface generously.

Take one dough ball and press it flat on the oiled surface. Using oiled hands, stretch and pull the dough outward from the center until it is paper-thin and nearly translucent, working carefully to avoid tearing.

Spread a thin layer of the butter-semolina paste over the stretched dough. Fold the left and right sides inward to form a rectangle, then fold the top and bottom inward to create a square. Press gently to seal.

Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Let the folded squares rest for 5 minutes.

Heat a large flat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook each msemmen for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy with visible flaky layers.

Serve warm, drizzled generously with wildflower honey and a light dusting of cinnamon, with extra butter on the side.
