Khobz Ftir is a traditional Algerian bread that is commonly served with Chakhchoukha, a savory and hearty stew made with lamb or beef and a variety of vegetables. The bread has a crispy outer layer and a soft and chewy interior, making it the perfect accompaniment to the rich and flavorful Chakhchoukha. Khobz Ftir can also be enjoyed as a snack or light meal on its own, served with some Mediterranean dips like hummus or baba ganoush.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, combine the semolina, flour, and salt.
2.	Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3.	Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them to about 1/2-inch in thickness.
4.	Heat a large pan with a small amount of oil over medium-high heat.
5.	Cook the bread in the pan until golden brown on both sides, flipping once.
6.	Set aside to cool for a few minutes before serving with Chakhchoukha.

CONS
