Msmen Filled with Chicken
Directions
- 1Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the honey and water. Mix for 10-12 minutes until smooth. Add the sunflower oil and knead for another minute. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- 2Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- 3Add the finely chopped chicken thighs, ras el hanout, turmeric powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
- 4Stir in the dried parsley and mix well. Let the chicken mixture cool completely.
- 5Divide the dough into 9 equal pieces of about 85 g each. Shape them into balls.
- 6Grease your hands with oil and flatten a dough ball on an oiled work surface (25 ml oil). Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- 7Grease your work surface again (15 ml oil per msmen) and place the dough on it. Using your fingertips, gently stretch it from the center outward into a very thin sheet, approximately 38 x 33 cm. Regularly oil your hands to prevent tearing.
- 8Use a pizza cutter to make 4 small cuts around the edges to make folding easier, dividing the dough into three sections.
- 9Place a slice of cheese on the dough and top with a portion of the chicken mixture.
- 10Fold the dough from left to right.
- 11Place the filled msmen on a sheet of parchment paper.
- 12Cook in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown and fully cooked on both sides.
