KESRA - MOROCCAN BREAD
This is another recipe I found on food blogger, Kitchen Chick's site. This is a recipe she found in Kitty Morse's The Vegetarian Table: North Africa, cookbook. Here is what is stated about the bread recipe: "Most recipes I've seen for Moroccan Bread usually use whole wheat flour or a blend of whole wheat and white flour. This recipe from Kitty Morse uses all white flour and is very light textured." The recipe is written with instructions for using a mixer with a dough hook, but can be used with a bread machine on dough cycle or by hand. Time doesn't include rising time.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix the yeast with 1/4 cup warm water. Stir in the sugar. Set aside until the mixture starts to bubble (10-15 minutes).
- In a mixer with a dough hook, mix the flour, 1/3 cup cornmeal, and salt. (Or sift together.) Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and melted butter. Knead, gradually adding the remaining 2 cups water as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic to the touch (8 to 10 minutes). (Note: you probably won't need all 2 cups.).
- Grease two baking sheets and dust them with the 1 Tbs cornmeal. Separate dough into 2 balls of equal size and set each ball on a baking sheet. Press them into circles 8 inches in diameter. Sprinkle 1 tsp of sesame seeds over each loaf, gently pressing them into the dough. Cover the dough with a towel and set aside in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour. Can take longer).
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prick the top of each kesra with the tines of a fork. Bake for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 375 and bake until crusty and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

MOROCCAN KSRA-BREAD
Leavened flatbread with semolina and anise seed typically baked but I grilled for an outdoor party and it was fabulous. This goes along with any spicy thing you cook up in a tagine. Or serve with dips. Bake or grill.

Tips:
- Use fine semolina for a smooth and fluffy texture.
- Make sure to soak the semolina in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it absorb the liquid and cook evenly.
- When cooking the semolina, stir it constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
- Once the semolina is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and fluff it with a fork.
- Add the melted butter and salt to the semolina and mix well.
- Form the semolina into small balls and then flatten them into thin rounds.
- Cook the ksra on a hot griddle or skillet until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve the ksra hot with your favorite toppings, such as honey, butter, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Ksra is a delicious and versatile Moroccan flatbread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you are looking for a simple and satisfying meal or a unique and flavorful addition to your next party, ksra is sure to please.
