How to Make My Rough Khoubz Moroccan Flat Bread

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the sugar and salt and mix well.
  2. Add the flour gradually, mixing 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.
  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.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a roughly 12-inch circle (or oval).
  7. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a baking stone or upside-down baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
  8. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the preheated baking stone or baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Khoubz with your favorite Moroccan dishes!
