About Moroccan bread

Moroccan bread, known as "khobz," is a staple of Moroccan cuisine and is traditionally baked in communal ovens or home kitchens. Made from simple ingredients like flour, water, salt, and yeast, this bread often has a dense yet fluffy texture and a slightly chewy crust. Variations may include whole wheat flour for added fiber or barley flour for a nuttier taste. Rich in carbohydrates, Moroccan bread serves as a primary energy source in meals but is typically low in fat. While it offers essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, its high carb content may not be ideal for individuals on low-carb diets. Pairing khobz with protein-rich dishes, vegetables, and healthy fats can make it a balanced part of your meal. Whether used to scoop up tagines or dipped in olive oil, this bread is deeply intertwined with Moroccan culture and everyday life.
