Aish Baladi (Egyptian Bread)

Everyday

Aish Baladi is a traditional Egyptian flatbread made from whole wheat flour and baked at high temperatures in specialized ovens. Characterized by its distinctive charred spots and chewy interior with a large air pocket, this staple bread provides more dietary fiber than refined flour flatbreads while remaining vegan-friendly through its simple ingredient list of flour, water, salt, and natural leavening agents. It serves as the foundation of Egyptian meals, commonly used to scoop stews or wrap grilled meats and vegetables.
