Khubz Maghrebi is a traditional Moroccan bread that is usually served with tajine or couscous dishes. It is a staple food in Moroccan cuisine and is loved by locals and tourists alike. The bread is known for its delicious flavor and chewy texture, and it is made from simple ingredients like all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, and water. You can enjoy khubz on its own as a snack, or as an accompaniment to a spicy Moroccan dish. Making your own khubz at home is a wonderful way to experience the authentic taste of Moroccan cuisine.

7.	Roll out each part into a circle, about 1/2 inch thick.
8.	Place the dough circles on a baking sheet and sprinkle with flour.
9.	Let the dough rise again for another 30 minutes.
