Moroccan Harcha or Harsha

The Moroccan Harcha or Harsha is a type of traditional bread from Morocco, cooked in a pan.

They are really not very sweet and are therefore served with jam, honey, or butter, but also with cheese.

A dough made with durum wheat semolina creates a really good crust during cooking.

If you too are lovers of international cuisine like me, then you must try this recipe!

A type of flatbread that is neither sweet nor savory and can be used in every way with different pairings.

If I have piqued your curiosity even a little, try making these flatbreads yourself.

Simple, quick flatbreads cooked in a pan, what more could you want?
