Msemen is the square layered Moroccan flatbread: dough rolled paper-thin, brushed with butter and semolina, folded into a square, then griddled to crisp golden layers. Served with honey or amlou.
Msemen is the Maghreb's morning griddle bread, made across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. The folding technique creates the layered laminated structure that defines the bread, eaten plain with butter and honey, or stuffed with onions and tomatoes (msemen mahchi). Marrakech's Bab Doukkala counters run msemen daily from dawn, when bakers fold and griddle the squares on cast-iron skillets street-side.
