How to Make Moroccan Bread

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the sugar and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the flours, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a round or oval loaf.
  6. Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
