Instructions
Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, pour the flour, semolina, yeast, salt, sugar and sunflower oil. Mix using a wooden spoon or the mixer on low speed.
Time: PT5M
Incorporate water and knead
Add the warm water gradually while mixing. Once the dough is homogeneous, knead for 5 minutes at medium speed (or by hand) until you obtain a smooth and slightly firm dough.
Time: PT10M
First rise
Form a ball, place it in a lightly oiled container, cover with plastic wrap and let double in size (40‑60 min).
Time: PT0M
Degas and divide the dough
On a lightly floured work surface, gently press the dough to release gas, then cut into 6 equal portions (≈ 110 g each).
Time: PT5M
Shape the batbouts
Flatten each ball with a rolling pin into a very thin oval disc (≈ 3 mm thick). Place the discs on a clean kitchen towel.
Time: PT5M
Quick second rise
Cover the discs with plastic wrap and let rest 5‑8 minutes.
Time: PT0M
Cook the batbouts
Heat a non‑stick pan over medium heat. Place a disc, cook 20‑30 seconds, flip, cook another 20‑30 seconds, then move slightly in the pan to let the air escape. Repeat with the remaining discs.
Time: PT8M
Temperature: Medium heat
Prepare the filling
In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the chicken, season with garlic powder, salt, ginger, pepper and curry. Cook until golden (≈ 5 min). Remove and set aside. Add a little oil, sauté the bell peppers and onion until lightly caramelized (≈ 5‑6 min). Set aside.
