Waiting for a cook
Morocco
Batbout is the Moroccan pocket bread: small rounds of yeasted semolina-and-flour dough cooked on a hot griddle until they puff into hollow pillows. They are soft and chewy, split open and stuffed with kefta, grilled meat, tuna, cheese or eggs for a sandwich, or eaten warm with butter and honey at tea time. Mini batbout, the size of a palm, are the party version. Depending on the region they are called mkhamer, toghrift or matlou'.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 9 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
