Varieties and similar foods

There is a variety that is made from pulling the dough into strands and forming a disk that is also called malwi in Northwest Africa. It is also similar to the Somali sabaayah.^{[citation needed]}

Recipe

M'semen dough is made of flour, durum wheat semolina, dry yeast, melted butter, salt, sugar and a bit of water. The dough is cut into several balls, which are then rolled out on an oiled surface and folded into square pancakes with multiple internal layers. Semolina is sprinkled on the layers to prevent sticking and to allow for the heat to separate the layers when cooked on a griddle.[4][5]
