Malsouka ( Arabic: ملسوقة, also malsouqa) or warqa ( Arabic: ورقة), also known as brik sheets ( Arabic: ورق البريك, French: feuilles de brick) or bourek sheets (ورق البوراك) or dioul ( Arabic: ديول), is a Maghrebi pastry sheet that resembles filo. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is thicker than filo [2] and unlike filo [3] is created by spreading wafer-thin layers of batter on a heated pan rather than by rolling a raw dough.[ citation needed]
There are many applications for the dough, including the tagine malsouka, the pastilla, the samsa, the brik, [5] the baklava.
