Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups semolina flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
- 1/2 cup raisins or dried apricots (chopped)
- Honey for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
- Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each disc for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix the chopped nuts and raisins or dried apricots.
- Place a spoonful of the nut mixture in the center of each disc and fold it over to create a half-moon shape.
- Drizzle honey over the filled discs before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter version, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough.
- Experiment with different fillings such as chocolate chips or coconut flakes for a unique twist.
