.png "Moroccan Pita Bread (Batbout) Recipe")
The little Batbout is a tasty Moroccan delicacy named after its compact, flat shape.
In Marrakech's old medina, where the smell of spices and the sounds of traders fill the alleys, there lies an unassuming bakery. The owner, a nice man named Ahmed, is well-known for his mastery of Moroccan food.One day, while Ahmed was working at his bakery, he saw a small bit of dough on his work table. Instead of tossing it away, he opted to use his ingenuity to make something new. He smoothed out the dough into a thin, oval form before baking it in his traditional wood-fired oven.
Ingredients
Servings 16
- 400 g flour
- 100 g fine semolina
- 12 g dry yeast
- 15 g sugar
- 10 g salt
- 200 ml yogurt
- 200 ml water
Instructions:
- In a deep basin, combine the flour, fine semolina, yeast, sugar, salt, yogurt, and warm water.
- Mix for roughly 10–15 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm location for an hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
- Sprinkle flour and semolina on the work area, then divide the dough into 16 balls.
- Press it somewhat flat. Place the balls on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
- Allow it to rise for half an hour in a warm environment.
- Preheat a thick-bottomed pan over medium-high heat (or a little lower) until it is golden brown.
- Cover it immediately with a tea towel to keep it soft.
Tips:
- Replace water with milk.
- Fill the Pita Bread with a filling of your choice.
- If you don't have a good pan, bake the rolls in the oven at 200 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Wrap in a tea towel as soon as it comes out of the oven.
