How to Prepare Kesra: Algerian Flatbread [Vegan]
- Pour both semolina flours in a large, wide bowl. Add salt and mix well with your hands.
- Make a well in the center, pour the oil, mix everything with your fingertips, and rub the mixture between your two palms to get a crumbly texture.
- Pour water slowly by working the semolina, until it has the consistency of a light dough, but not is not sticky. Let stand 20 minutes.
- Cut dough into 4 equal parts and form balls. Place each ball on a work surface generously dusted with semolina, and roll it with a rolling pin into a circle of about 6 inches in diameter.
- Heat the pan and grease it using a clean cloth with oil wiped across the surface.
- When the pan is hot, lay down the flatbread and cook it over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, while piercing with a fork all over its surface.
- Turn the kesra over gently to cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. You can then turn it over with the help of a large plate or with a wide spatula.
