Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Fine Semolina Flour suji
- 1 tbsp Caster Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp Baking Powder aluminum-free, preferred
- 1/4 tsp Yeast instant
Instructions
Combining Dry Ingredients
- Combine the semolina flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Adding Wet Ingredients
- Pour in the melted butter and olive oil. Mix well using a fork or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Forming the Dough
- Gradually add the warm milk, mixing continuously until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve the right consistency. The dough should be pliable but not overly wet.
Resting the Dough
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and the yeast to activate, resulting in a lighter and fluffier Harcha.
Shaping and Cooking the Harcha
- Lightly flour a clean surface. Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions (about 1.5-2 ounces each). Roll each portion into a smooth ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick. You can use a cookie cutter or a lid to ensure even circles.
Pan-Frying the Harcha
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Cook each Harcha disc for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serving
- Serve the warm Harcha immediately. Enjoy with honey, jam, or your favorite savory spread.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Harcha
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of orange blossom water or a pinch of cardamom to the dough.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overmixing can result in tough Harcha.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time until it comes together.
- For crispier Harcha, cook them over slightly higher heat, but keep a close eye to prevent burning.
