About Iraqi bread

Iraqi bread, or "khubz," is a traditional flatbread central to Iraqi cuisine. Made with simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and salt, it’s leavened and baked in a tandoor oven, giving it a soft, chewy texture with lightly charred, flavorful edges. Often eaten fresh, it serves as a versatile staple, pairing well with stews, dips, and grilled meats. Nutritionally, Iraqi bread provides energy-rich carbohydrates and is typically low in fat. Whole wheat variations offer added dietary fiber and nutrients, making them a healthier option. However, like many breads, it can contribute to excess calorie intake if consumed in large quantities. For those monitoring blood sugar, the refined flour version may cause quicker glucose spikes. Still, in moderation and as part of a balanced diet, Iraqi bread is a delicious and culturally significant food that brings a wholesome taste of the Middle East to the table.
