Preparation
What is the batbout?
The batbout is an oval bread typical of Morocco, the cooking of which is reminiscent of that of tigelle or that of quick bread in a pan. Unlike these two preparations, the batbouts are kneaded only with water (without milk); moreover, in the dough we find a mix of semolina and white flour (we do not use Manitoba flour).- In a bowl, sift the white flour with the re-milled durum wheat semolina. Combine the sugar and mix the powders.
- Make a hole in the center of the flour and add the dry yeast, the oil and the sparkling water (preferably at room temperature).
- Distribute the salt along the edges, avoiding contact with the yeast.
- Cover with cling film and leave ten minutes to rest in a warm environment, away from drafts.
- After about ten minutes, remove the film and knead vigorously all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Divide the dough into 6 parts and obtain the same number of balls. Roll out each ball with a rolling pin until it reaches a thickness of 7-8 mm.
- Cut a sheet of baking paper into squares from the side of about 15 cm. Place each disc of bread on a square of parchment paper. Arrange the rolls with parchment paper in a baking tray and leave to rise in a warm environment for about an hour, or until they are puffy.
- Extremely heat a pan. Lay down the batbout with baking paper directly over the pan and cook for a couple of minutes, maintaining a medium flame - not too lively - to avoid burning the sandwiches. Once turned, remove the parchment paper, cover the pan with the lid and cook for another 3-4 minutes, over low heat, turning them often.
Why bake sandwiches with parchment paper?
Leavened doughs are quite sensitive to movement, so removing them from the baking paper before cooking them could deflate and not become so soft during cooking. Baking paper prevents this risk.- The batbouts are ready to be served: they can be cut horizontally and stuffed to taste or tasted without stuffing.

Moroccan bread is ideal to accompany kebabs but you can stuff it with anything you like best: burgers, mixed vegetables but it's also delicious in the sweet version with hot honey! Try and let me tell you!Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
