Mix together the semolina flour and all purpose flour, make a well and add the foaming yeast ,oil, water to form a dough..the dough should be soft but not sticky...knead the dough for few minutes and divide the dough as 5-6 medium sized balls , roll each ball into thin circles, arrange the rolled dough in a clean and dry towel and leave to rise for 1 hour..after an hour the rolled dough would have doubled their volume..
Heat a lightly oiled iron skillet or non stick pan, cook the batbout on turning several times, cook in simmer for few minutes until they turns golden brown on both sides and arrange in wire rack to get cool a bit...batbout can be served bit warm too..
