Medfouna, also known as "Berber pizza" or "desert pizza," is a traditional and rustic culinary dish originating from Morocco.[1][2][3][4] It is prepared from a round-shaped dough that is stuffed, soft inside and crispy outside. Unlike pizza, Medfouna consists of two layers of dough: one at the bottom and one on top that covers the filling.
In the mountains of the Middle Atlas in Morocco, it is baked over a wood fire, then cut into eight pieces and offered to guests along with a glass of Moroccan mint tea.
