Step 1
Mix flour with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.5 cup water to form a soft dough. Knead for 2 minutes until smooth.
Step 2
Divide dough in half. Roll each piece into a thin rectangle, spread 1 tbsp softened butter over it, then fold and roll again into a rough square.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry each msemen 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 4
Arrange sliced tomatoes, cucumber, olives, tapenade, and pickled peppers on a plate alongside the warm msemen.
Step 5
Warm honey in a small bowl (30 seconds in microwave or over low heat) and drizzle over the msemen.
Step 6
Serve immediately while msemen is still warm and crispy.
