Msemmen (Arabic: مسمن msamman, musamman) or rghaif (رغايف), is a traditional flatbread originally from the Maghreb, commonly found in Algeria,^[1] Morocco,^[2] and Tunisia.^[3] It is folded into square pancakes with multiple internal layers and cooked on a griddle,^[4][5] usually served with honey or a cup of aromatic morning mint tea or coffee. M'semmen can also be stuffed with meat (khlea) or onion and tomatoes. The small msemmen pancakes are of Berber origin.

There is a variety that is made from pulling the dough into strands and forming a disk that is also called Mlewi in Tunisia and Morocco.
