About Maltese bread

Maltese bread, known locally as "Ħobż tal-Malti," is a traditional loaf originating from Malta, celebrated for its crusty exterior and soft, airy interior. Made using a simple blend of flour, water, salt, and natural sourdough starter, its iconic texture and tangy flavor stem from a slow fermentation process. This artisanal bread is a staple in Maltese cuisine, often enjoyed fresh or paired with local ingredients like olives, tomatoes, and olive oil in dishes such as "Ħobż biż-Żejt." Nutritionally, Maltese bread is low in fat and free from preservatives, making it a wholesome carbohydrate source. However, its high glycemic index may not suit everyone, particularly those managing blood sugar levels. Rich in fiber when made with whole-grain flour, it supports digestion and sustains energy. Traditional preparation methods highlight cultural heritage while maintaining a focus on natural, quality ingredients.
