INGREDIENTS

520g (4 cups) of all-purpose flour

120g (1 cup) of durum wheat flour

12g (1 tbsp) of sugar

2g of fresh yeast

420ml (1 3/4 cups) of water (lukewarm)

14g of salt

120ml (1/2 cup) of sunflower oil

5g of baking powder

Durum wheat flour

METHOD

1. In a bowl, add the all-purpose flour, durum wheat flour, sugar, fresh yeast, water, and salt, and mix. When the dough starts to form, knead it to obtain a compact and smooth dough. Cover the bowl with cling film and set aside for 15 minutes.

2. After the time is up, transfer the dough to the working surface and split it into 12 pieces. Form the balls (around 110g each) and transfer them to a tray. Cover with cling film and set aside for 15 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, add the sunflower oil and baking powder and mix to combine.

4. Grease the working surface with the oil, place a ball on the greased surface, and roll it out with your hands. Brush the surface and fold it to get a rectangular shape.

5. Brush the rolled dough with more oil/baking powder mixture and sprinkle with durum wheat flour. Fold the dough into thirds, then fold again into thirds to form a square.

6. Transfer the square to the hot pan, turning it several times, until cooked through, crispy on the outside, and golden in color.

7. Serve the msemen together on a serving dish and enjoy.
