Recipe for the dough ( which I found on the net) :
4 cups of flour
1 cup of semolina, fine
2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon yeast
1 3/4 cup warm water
My own Filling:
A mix of minced lamb and viel- fry up with garlic, lemon peel, lemon juice, salt and peber and a touch of cummin and some lemon juice in the end. Leave it to cool off, add chopped parsley.
Mix the dry ingredients together first then mix in the wet ingredients. Mix/kneed well and leave for 30 minutes. Roll into little balls and leave them for 15 min. Then spread them out- dont use a rolling pin but use ur hands with a mix of oil and butter or just oil- with the filling as shown below.
After having made one ball into a packet- make another ball into a square and place the already folded package on the second wrap/ square with the folded sides down and fold it. So each packet has been wrapped twice!
How to bake them:
Leave the folded msemans for 15 min, then place one at the time on an olied surface and strech it, like when you made the mseman/ wraps/breads in the first place- do it carefully so you dont break them ( too much, its hard not to break them at all, for a beginner anyways) - stretch them with ur olied hands and bake them either in the owen or on a pan like I did, at moderate heat.
I cut mine out in four pieces each and ate them with fresh parlsey- really good. Not as good as Mounas..but still good! Its surposed to be crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
I have to say..it took it's time..and wasnt just as easy as Mouna told me ( she proberbly made it a million times) but it wasnt as hard as I thought it would be and it was really worth the effort! I read somewhere that they eat msemen with all kinds of fillings: spinach, onion, or just eaten freshly baked with a dash of honey enjoyed with a nice cup of tea.
