STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE #42 : MOROCCAN BATBOUT
Hello everyone!
This is the first time I am participating in the Steemit Culinary Challenge! I knew about this contest for some time now as my husband is a frequent contestant! As this week he will not be participating due to time constraint, therefore I took this opportunity and try it for the first time!
Steemit Culinary Challenge is an amazing cooking contest with different theme each week! This contest is orchestrated by @woman-onthe-wing and it is already to it's 42nd round! This week the theme is BREAD and the guest judge the wonderful @jaymorebeet who is actually a master in bread making!
I eat a lot of bread and bread forms an important part in the eating habits of all Moroccans! I cook my own bread nearly every day and one that I love a lot is the Moroccan Batbout! I have used Batbout many times before to create some amazing sandwiches but I have never shown how to make it!
So let's follow me and i'll show you how to make this easy and yummy bread!
MOROCCAN BATBOUT
You simply need the following to make them(6 breads) :
- Flour 500gms
- Salt 1 tsp
- Yeast 1tbsp
- Semolina 15gms
- Warm water
Make the dough with the flour, salt, yeast and water, till you get a soft bread dough! Sprinkle with little semolina.
Make 6 small balls from the dough! Put them on a tray where you again put some semolina!
Using your messy hand, press the balls to the below form!
Put them back on the tray and cover.
Let it sit for approx. 1 hour.
After 1 hour, heat a pan and start cooking your batbouts directly on the hot pan! Don't add anything on the pan!
Each 30 seconds turn the batbout on the other side! You will see how it develops...
After couple of minutes, the batbout will inflate like a pillow and you know it's ready!
One of the rule of the contest is to show how it looks in the inside!
Here it is!
A very soft bread which you can keep for several days in the fridge!
What is great with batbout is that you already get it open like that, not need to cut to stuff it!
So here you are with my entry to this amazing contest! I hope you enjoyed the recipe and will try it too!

Wow, fantastic batbout @creativewoman! I have never made this myself, only eaten from a Moroccan stall at a food market, but it was beautiful. I forgot it even existed until now, and so you've just inspired me to make it for myself! I had no idea it was so easy, and I already have the ingredients in my kitchen too, yey! I am very happy to hear you bake fresh bread every day... much better for your family to eat than store-bought, and this way you know exactly what's in it. Do you ever use different kinds of flour, or always the same kind? I'm really into spelt flour atm and wonder if that would work just as well... perhaps I will experiement! And do you ever add anything to it, such as herbs or sundried tomatoes? Just curious as I really like the look of this bread... I prefer soft rather than crusty. Great instructions, and lovely clear photos too. Good luck, and it's nice to have you joining in the challenge as well as your husband @creativewoman!
I'm so glad to made you remember this lovely bread my friend! It is really very easy to make and i am sure you'll do it perfectly!
I have never tried another type of flour yet, but I do think spelt flour should work also. As for the addition of some other ingredients, yes of course you can. Caramelized onion works so well in it as well as sundried tomatoes! Be free to experiment depending on your taste my friend!
I am so happy that you enjoyed my entry and i will make sure to be a regular contestant in such a lovely contest!
