How to make Delicious Mlawi: The Ultimate Guide to Making Moroccan Flatbread
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture to the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
Let it Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Mlawi
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball out into a thin circle.
Cook the Mlawi
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each circle for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Brush with olive oil or melted butter while cooking for extra flavor.
Serve
Enjoy your mlawi warm, plain, or with dips, stews, or tagines.
