Makhmar is a typical dish of Moroccan cuisine, essentially a leavened dough cooked in a pan. I was thrilled with it also because they are ideal for filling as desired and can be prepared in advance. Indeed, a very versatile recipe useful for a cold dinner, ideal for children, great for parties.

MAKHMAR INGREDIENTS
- 5 oz semolina flour
- 5 oz all-purpose flour
- 7 oz water (lukewarm)
- 0.35 oz fresh yeast
- to taste salt
Tools
- 1 Pan
MAKHMAR PREPARATION
Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and then add the two types of flour alternately. Knead vigorously for a few minutes, adding the salt.
Let it rise for about 4 hours, then spread it on a work surface that had been previously dusted with semolina flour.
Divide the dough into 6 balls, then roll them into discs about the thickness of a finger, preferably with your hands. Heat an empty pan, and when hot, place the first disc on the pan and cook for a few minutes.
For cooking:
1st side: 1 minute
2nd side: 1 minute
1st side: a few seconds
2nd side: a few seconds
etc. etc. until they appear well puffed and golden.Let them cool and cut, fill as desired. In my case, I used a ratatouille of eggplants, zucchinis, and peppers.
Adriana’s Tip
You can also freeze them and always have them ready when needed. Just defrost and reheat them in the pan or in the toaster.
