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.

- 12.3 oz fine durum wheat semolina
- 3 tbsps sugar

Preparation of Moroccan Harcha or Harsha
In a bowl, mix the semolina, sugar, and baking powder, then add the softened butter and salt, mixing well.
Finally, add the milk, working the dough well until it’s well combined.
Divide the dough into 12 equal balls, let them rest for a few minutes, then heat a pan and dip each ball in semolina, flatten it, shape it, and place it in the pan.
The disks obtained should be about ¼ inch thick.
Cook the flatbreads over low heat until they are light brown.
Once cooked, serve with sweet or savory sauces; they will be delicious anyway.
They can also be baked in the oven at 356°F.
