Directions
My Rough Khoubz — Moroccan Flat Bread., This is a flat bread that we use for meals, sandwiches and breakfast. It is our daily bread here in Morocco and is rarely made at home unless rurally as it is so inexpensive and available on every street corner; small or large. This bread is good for soaking up the sauces, broths and for pushing the food onto and sort of dragging from the communal platter to eat. This bread is our knife and fork! This recipe makes 2 loaves and is easily cut in half for one loaf c.2005, Wow, this was so good! I was looking for something quick to go with a pot of soup. I was out of whole wheat four, so I just used white and bread flour. I cut the recipe in half, and used the bread machine just to knead it and for the 20 minutes rest. I put it on the baking sheet in a barely warm oven to rise, about another 20 minutes. Next time I’ll use a bit of cooking spray, it stuck with just the cornmeal. Baked for about 15. Wow, yeasty and light and delicious. Half recipe made a large loaf for two people, with leftovers for breakfast. I am definitely adding this to my cookbook!

This Bread Should not Be "dense" With No Air Bubble Pockets Inside. You Will Need to Flatten It as Much as You Possibly Can; Pull, Stretch and Flatten to No More Than 1/2 Inch. Should It Come Out Dense, Then Next Time Cut the Dough in Three and Make 3 Loaves. Please Don't Go by My Photo as This Batch "over-Rose.". |

Shape Into 2 Rounds Depending on the Diameter You Desire as Moroccan Bread Comes in Many Sizes Right Down to Little Ones For Sandwiches. Score the Top With a Sharp Knife 1/8" Deep Into 4 Cutting an X Shape, or Using Your Thumb Make a Dent in the Center Nearly Deep Enough to Be a Hole, Though not All the Way Through. |
