About Algerian bread loaf

Algerian bread loaf, known locally as "Kesra" or "Khobz Eddar," is a traditional flatbread widely cherished in Algerian cuisine. This bread is typically crafted from a simple dough of semolina, flour, water, yeast, and salt, often enriched with olive oil or butter for added flavor. Known for its slightly dense texture and golden crust, it pairs beautifully with soups, stews, or dips. In terms of nutritional aspects, semolina provides a good source of energy, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and iron. Olive oil, when included, contributes healthy fats and antioxidants. However, being a bread-based item, it can be relatively high in carbohydrates and may contain added fats, depending on preparation. Moderation is key for those monitoring calorie intake or managing blood sugar levels. Homemade versions allow for healthier customization, adhering closely to its wholesome, authentic roots.
