About Traditional kaakeh

Traditional Kaakeh is a quintessential Middle Eastern street food, beloved for its distinctive shape and crunchy texture. Often associated with Levantine cuisine, this ring-shaped bread is typically coated in sesame seeds, giving it a nutty flavor and added crunch. The dough is made with simple ingredients like wheat flour, yeast, water, and a hint of sugar, creating a subtly sweet taste. Kaakeh is often enjoyed as a convenient snack or meal on the go, paired with cream cheese, za’atar, or other savory spreads. While its sesame seed coating provides a source of beneficial fats and nutrients like calcium, the refined flour content means it’s less nutrient-dense compared to whole-grain alternatives. Moderation is key when enjoying Kaakeh as part of a balanced diet, especially if it's accompanied by rich or salty spreads like cheese. Its simplicity and versatility make Kaakeh a comforting and wholesome staple in Middle Eastern cuisine.
