Moroccan Meloui or Malawi Bread | Suhur Special | Ramadan | Spork & Knife

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

semolina

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Mix all purpose flour, semolina, salt, sugar, and yeast in a bowl.

Gradually add lukewarm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface with the oil until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.

Divide the dough into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball.

Flatten each ball into a thin disc using your hands or a rolling pin.

Brush melted butter on each disc and fold it into a square.

Let the folded dough rest for another 15 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook each folded dough piece in the skillet until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, optionally with honey or jam.
