About Khobz Al-Tannour
Khubz tannour is a round Middle Eastern yeast bread, and this Iraqi rendition has a soft surface marked by bubbles. Its broad, flattened shape belongs to the bread family associated with clay tannour ovens.
Flour, water, yeast and salt form the simple dough, with fine durum wheat semolina as the dusting ingredient. The bread has a mild savoury flavour and a soft texture suited to accompanying a meal.
The round loaves show finger marks and uneven bubbles. Plain pieces can accompany other foods at the table, with the bread itself providing the central serving.
