In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup fine semolina, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar.
Add 1 teaspoon dry yeast and mix well.
Gradually add about 1 cup of warm water, mixing to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into small balls, roughly golf-ball sized.
Flatten each ball lightly, then spread a small amount of vegetable oil over its surface to prevent sticking.
Using the palm of your hand, stretch each ball out into a thin, square shape on a floured surface.
Fold each corner into the center to form a smaller square, then once again until you have a layered square.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Melt a small piece of butter in the pan.
Cook the folded msemen squares for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with honey, jam, or mint tea.
