Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams Fine semolina
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 milliliters Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Non-fat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, fine semolina, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Dissolve the instant yeast in the warm water in a separate bowl, then add the non-fat yogurt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with your hands or a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, until a soft, elastic dough forms. This should take about 10 minutes of kneading.

Step 4

Once the dough is smooth and elastic, cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth and let rest for another 15 minutes.

Step 6

On a clean, lightly oiled surface, flatten one portion of dough into a thin, round sheet using your hands, smoothing it out as much as possible.

Step 7

Fold the dough sheet onto itself to create a square by folding the sides inward, then the top and bottom.

Step 8

Repeat the flattening and folding process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 9

Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray.

Step 10

Cook each msemen square for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to press down on them gently while cooking to ensure even browning.

Step 11

Serve warm, with honey or jam for breakfast or as part of a savory meal.
