🇲🇦 Morocco recipe
Msemen
Morocco's beloved square-shaped layered flatbread, msemen is a triumph of simple ingredients transformed by technique. The dough is stretched paper-thin, brushed with butter and oil, folded into layers, and pan-fried until golden and flaky. Served at breakfast with honey and tea, or stuffed with savory fillings, msemen is an essential part of Moroccan daily life.
