Mix the flour, fine semolina, dry yeast, sugar, and salt.
Add the lukewarm water and olive oil, then knead a soft dough for 8 minutes.
Cover the dough and leave it to rise for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 8 balls and roll each to 1 cm thick.
Cover the balls and rest for another 10 minutes.
Heat a dry pan over medium heat and cook the batbouts for 2 minutes per side.
Place the pocketed breads in a clean cloth and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Keep the pan at steady medium heat; a surface that is too hot burns the outside before the pocket forms inside.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve batbout hot in a breakfast basket, filled with optional white cheese, olive paste, or honey.
