About Taboon Bread
Taboon is a Palestinian yeasted flatbread associated with baking over hot stones. Heifa’s aunt-based rendition combines all-purpose and whole wheat flour, with olive oil and optional milk powder in the dough.
Whole wheat gives the bread its cereal character and brown flecks. Its edges are lightly crisp, while the middle is soft and chewy, with a little sweetness balanced by salt.
The broad rounds have irregular dimples across their lightly browned surface. They are enjoyed warm, as individual breads or stacked together.
