ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
Batbout is a classic Moroccan pan-fried that is a cross between Pita bread and an English muffin. It has many other names, including mkhamer, toghrift and matlou.
Batbout requires minimal ingredients, and is the perfect bread when you don't feel like turning on the oven. You can make different sized batbouts depending on what you want to use the bread for. Large sized batbout are ideal little pocket for any sandwich, and they pair wonderfully with grilled meats and a side salad. The smaller breads are perfect for breakfast or snacks with butter, honey, and a hot cup of Moroccan mint tea.
Batbout is eaten throughout the year in Morocco, but it is extremely popular during Ramadan; often served in small, almost bite-sized size, and filled with a variety of savory fillings.
If you're looking to perfect your Batbout game, consider investing in a large griddle or cast iron skillet, so you can cook multiple batbouts at a time. A griddle would also be ideal for cooking other Moroccan specialities including msemen, meloui, and harcha. With your griddle, delicious breads becomes just minutes away!
