This was really good! Almost exactly like my Moroccan mother-in-law's bread! The taste was great but next time I will cook it at a higher temperature and make smaller round loaves like she does. Moroccans like more crust, less spongy inside, to be able to eat with it. I made this in my bread machine, the mixing, kneading and rising, and then just laid it out on a cookie sheet and rolled it out with a handheld roller. So easy! I always thought this bread was so time-consuming! Thank you for this version!

I really enjoyed this bread, and it was so easy to make. I cut the recipe in half, and used my bread machine to make it to the dough stage, then baked it on a stone in the oven. The dough seemed very wet when it came out of the machine, but the finished product was just perfect- great flavor, great texture. I would never have thought to put cornmeal into my bread, but it really added something both flavor and texture wise. Thanks for posting a great recipe!

What a wonderful bread recipe! It has a light texture and is the softest bread I've ever made - it has the closest resemblance to commercially-produced bread that I've come across so far. I used a breadmaker to make the dough through to the first rising then did the second rising in the oven. (I also halved the recipe as I wasn't sure the a whole recipe would fit in the breadmaker. I was really surprised at how much I got with only half the amount.) I've also made it quite successfully in a loaf tin to get a conventionally-shaped loaf rather than the flat loaf.

I made your recipe for a potluck middle eastern dinner. It was very well received. I love to make bread and delighted to add a great new recipe to my collection.

I have just returned from Morocco!! I had the amazing adventure of getting to stay in Taza with my friends family and really got to experience the life style. The mom of the house made her bread from scratch at least 2 times a week. I actually helped knead the bread in attempt to learn. When i was making this bread from your recipe, It was really sticky which made it very hard to "pull, stretch, and flatten. I'm sure it was something i was doing wrong (i have never made bread before) but i think it turned out pretty good. I think it will be even better next time.

First off, I was a bit confused to what, "flatten as much as possible" meant. As flat as pizza dough or thicker? But noticing that scoring was needed I patted it down to about 1 1/2 inch. It baked up nicely, but a bit dense (which was fine with me), although I wasn't sure if it was the way it's suppose to be. The taste was very nice. Not 'yeasty' at all. It went very well with my Lamb and Pear Tagine (which I've submitted to Zaar and am currantly awaiting approval from the elves.) Perfect for sopping up the juices:-) This was my first time to make Moroccan flatbread and not my last.
I'm submitting a photo's to let you know how it turned out. I hope I did it justice. Thanks Hajar, for an easy and tasty recipe.
P.S....
I enjoyed reading your writings on your website. I wish you and Mohammad all the happiness in the world. :-)

I only tried this, after worrying about the amount of yeast required (3 1/2 tablespoons! and I cut that down to an even 3...), because some of the comments indicated that the bread didn't taste "yeasty". Wrong. I baked until it was quite brown on the bottom, almost 20 minutes, and the taste of yeast was overpowering. A waste of my time, and now I have to find another type of bread to serve with my Noth-African-themed dinner next weekend.

I have made this bread now 3 times and my 13 year old granddaughter made the last one. I did only have unbleached flour and used that but it is wonderful and everyone liked it. I am going to Morocco in January and will be looking for this. Thanks again..Bonnie

I was really worried about the amount of yeast, and whether it would taste too yeasty. But we really enjoyed the taste, my mom especially loved it. It was slightly too dense or hearty for the rest of us, but it's stilla wonderful bread! Thanks.

Excellent bread recipe. Quick and easy. I have a convection oven so the time given was about right. The taste was also excellent.

This is very filling; I don't think I could eat a fourth of the recipe! I used this to scoop up a bean dish, which is also a filling food, so maybe that's why! After reading Bunny Mom's review I realized I should have cooked this a little longer as mine turned out tasting just a bit "yeasty". I had no idea what the texture or taste should be, but I'll try that next time. This is a nice hearty rustic bread, thanks for sharing!

I made this to go with our Moroccan meal for the Zaar World Tour. We enjoyed it. I had to bake a little extra time, but other than that, followed the directions exactly.
