**Msemmen** (Arabic: [مسمن](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D9%85%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%86)) or **rghaif** (رغايف), is a traditional flatbread originally from the [Maghreb](/source/Maghreb), commonly found in [Algeria](/source/Algeria)[1] and [Morocco](/source/Morocco),[2] It is folded into square pancakes with multiple internal layers and cooked on a griddle,[3][4] usually served with honey or a cup of aromatic morning mint tea or coffee. M'semmen can also be stuffed with meat ([khlea](/source/Khlea)) or onion and tomatoes. The small msemmen pancakes are of Berber origin.
