About Msemen

Msemen is a traditional North African flatbread, most commonly enjoyed in Moroccan cuisine. Made from a mixture of flour, semolina, water, salt, and oil, this layered and pan-fried bread boasts a soft, crispy texture. The dough is folded multiple times, creating its signature flakiness, and it's often served warm with honey, butter, or alongside tea. While msemen provides energy through carbohydrates and contains modest amounts of dietary fiber from the semolina, it is relatively high in oil and may be calorie-dense. It is typically enjoyed as part of a balanced meal rather than as a frequent staple for those monitoring fat intake. Msemen is cherished as both a breakfast delicacy and a snack, rich in tradition and flavor, highlighting the culinary artistry of North African cuisine.
