Recipe Description

Vegan Msemmen, a traditional Moroccan square flatbread, offers a delightful journey into the heart of Moroccan cuisine with a vegan twist. This version retains the authentic textures and layers that Msemmen is known for, utilizing plant-based ingredients to cater to a vegan diet. The process involves creating a smooth, elastic dough, intricately folded with vegan butter and olive oil to achieve its characteristic flaky layers. Skilled cooking on a hot griddle then transforms the dough into golden, crispy-edged bread with a tender interior. Served as a versatile accompaniment, Vegan Msemmen can elevate any meal, from breakfast spreads with jams and spreads to savory dinners, complementing a variety of dishes with its rich, buttery flavor without the use of traditional animal products. This recipe not only pays homage to its Moroccan roots but also embraces modern dietary preferences, showcasing the adaptability of traditional foods to contemporary vegan lifestyles.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
  • Approx. 1 cup water, as needed for dough
  • Additional flour for dusting
  • More olive oil for cooking

Steps:

  1. Mix both flours, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Gradically add water, mixing until a soft, elastic dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes until smooth.
  3. Divide the dough into balls, cover, and let them rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll each ball into a thin layer, brush with melted vegan butter mixed with olive oil, then fold into a square.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook each Msemmen for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
