Ingredients :

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fine semolina flour
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, finely diced
  • 1 small onion, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method :

  1. Combine flours, yeast, and salt in a bowl, gradually adding warm water to form a smooth, elastic dough.
  2. Divide dough into small portions and roll into 3-inch discs, then allow them to rest for 15 minutes.
  3. Cook the mini-batbouts on a hot skillet until they puff up and develop light golden spots on both sides.
  4. Sauté the diced chicken and onion in olive oil with ginger, turmeric, and salt until cooked through and tender.
  5. Stir fresh cilantro into the chicken mixture and remove from heat.
  6. Slice each mini-batbout halfway to create a pocket and fill generously with the savory chicken mixture before serving on a platter.

Recipe Notes :

  • Chef’s Tip: Use a serrated bread knife to slice the cooled batbouts; this ensures a clean cut without tearing the soft bread.
  • Variation: Add finely diced black olives or preserved lemon to the chicken filling for a more traditional, zesty flavor profile.
  • Storage: Store the unfilled cooked batbouts in a sealed bag for up to two days, or freeze them for up to one month.
