A Journey Through the Arab World’s Most Beloved Breads
Bread sits at the center of Arab life — humble yet essential, it’s the thread running through markets, kitchens, and family tables.
Across the region, bakers turn simple ingredients into loaves that carry history in their crust:
- the smoke of taboon ovens in Palestine
- the buttery folds of msemmen in Morocco
- the soft khubz of the Gulf
Literally meaning “local bread,” eish baladi is the heartbeat of Egyptian meals. Made from whole wheat and baked in clay ovens, it puffs up into perfect rounds with a smoky flavor.
Its name comes from “aish,” meaning life — a reflection of how essential it is to every Egyptian table.
A catch-all term for “bread” in Arabic, khubz varies by region but often refers to thin, soft, round loaves baked on hot metal domes or inside tandoor-like ovens.
