Khobz


Khobz or Khobz el-dâr is a type of leavened bread made in a round and somewhat flat loaf, known especially in Morocco. It is often homemade, and typically prepared with white flour mixed with whole wheat or semolina flour. It is sometimes flavored with anise seeds. A thinner version, Khobz al-tajin, is cooked in an earthenware pan. An oven-cooked version, about an inch thick, was traditionally prepared at home and then taken to a communal oven to be baked; some bakeries still offer this service.
