Moroccan Ghriba with Cinnamon and Sesame – Ghriba is a famous sweet across many Arab countries, prepared in a variety of ways and flavors. This delicious treat is loved by both children and adults. From Arabic Cook, we bring you Moroccan-style Ghriba with cinnamon and sesame.

Essential Ingredients for Moroccan Ghriba:

Moroccan Ghriba with Cinnamon and Sesame

  • 1 ¼ cups of flour
  • 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons of melted or softened butter
  • ½ teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup of oil
  • A pinch of salt
  • ½ cup of powdered sugar (around 90 grams)

How to Prepare Moroccan Ghriba with Cinnamon and Sesame:

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together. Add a pinch of salt, the toasted sesame seeds, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

  2. Mix the Ingredients: Stir the dry ingredients thoroughly. Then, add the oil and melted butter to the mixture.

  3. Knead the Dough: Start mixing with a spoon, then use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a smooth and soft dough.

  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least an hour to let it rest and firm up, making it easier to shape later.

  5. Shape the Ghriba: Once the dough is chilled, remove it from the fridge and shape it into small round balls.

  6. Prepare the Baking Tray: Place the dough balls on a buttered and floured baking tray, or use parchment paper for an easier cleanup.

  7. Bake the Ghriba: Preheat the oven and bake the ghriba. Start by placing the tray in the upper part of the oven to brown the tops. Then move it to the lower rack to let the bottoms turn golden.

  8. Cool and Serve: Once the ghriba has a golden color, remove them from the oven, even if they still feel soft – they will firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely before serving.

Now your Moroccan Ghriba with Cinnamon and Sesame is ready to be enjoyed. Serve with a cup of tea for a relaxing evening.

We hope you enjoy this delightful recipe. Bon appétit!
