About Saj bread

Saj bread is a traditional flatbread originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, cooked on a dome-shaped metal griddle called a saj. Made from a simple mixture of flour, water, salt, and occasionally yeast, this unleavened bread is cherished for its thin, pliable texture and versatility. Known as a staple in various regional dishes, saj bread is often used to wrap meats, vegetables, or spreads, making it ideal for creating balanced meals. Its low-fat and minimal-ingredient composition contribute to its appeal as a healthy option. However, as with most breads, moderation is key due to its carbohydrate content. Rich in tradition and simplicity, saj bread offers a light, wholesome alternative to heavier breads and complements a wide array of nutrient-rich fillings.
