PREPARATION
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. As an alternative, dust it with semolina or lightly oil it.
-
Put the flour, sugar,and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the yeast with some of the warm water.
-
Dissolve the yeast in the water using your fingers, and add the remaining water and oil. Mix well until you obtain a homegenous dough.
-
Transfer the dough to a kneading mat. Knead the dough until elastic and smooth, around 5-10 minutes. Make sure it’s not sticky but soft by adding more water or flour as needed.
-
Divide the dough into two buns and place them on the baking sheet ensuring there’s enough space between them. Let them rest covered with a towel for 10-15 minutes.
-
Pat the buns into flat, round loaves to 1/4” thickness. Let them rise once again covered with a towel for an hour. You can let them rise for longer in a colder place. The dough is ready when it springs back after pressing it lightly.
-
Preheat the oven until it reaches 225°C.
-
Use a fork to poke a few holes in the dough or a knife to lightly score its surface before putting it in the preheated oven.
-
Rotate the pan and bake until golden brown, or about 20 minutes. To check if your homemade Moroccan bread is baked properly, tap it and ensure it gives a hollow sound.
-
Let your perfectly baked khobz cool before enjoying it.
