2. Then we add 1L water, the slices of vegetables, parsley and coriander, and let it cooked on fire.
3. We water Couscous with salted water and put in a perforated steamer pot called « kaskass ».
Put the « kaskass » on the broth bowl to be steamed.

Hello, I’m Khadija. I like helping my mother in the kitchen. I will show you how to make Moroccan bread.

To make bread, we need flour, some salt, yeast, and some warm water.
We put flour in an earthen-ware, we add some salt and yeast, then we pour water little by little till we have a paste. We knead it well for 3 minutes.

After kneading the paste, we make balls, and press them into circles. We let them for an hour to be fermented.

We bake our bread in traditional ovens.

It’s healthy and delicious.
