Msemmen (Arabic: مسمن msamman, musamman) or rghaif (رغايف), is a traditional flatbread originally from the Maghreb, commonly found in Algeria,[1] Morocco,[2] and Tunisia.[3] It is folded into square pancakes with multiple internal layers and cooked on a griddle,[4][5] usually served with honey or a cup of aromatic morning mint tea or coffee. M'semmen can also be stuffed with meat (khlea) or onion and tomatoes. The small msemmen pancakes are of Berber origin.
There is a variety that is made from pulling the dough into strands and forming a disk that is also called Mlewi in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.
