📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Khubz tannour is a traditional Bahraini bread: large, thin rounds are baked stuck to the inside of a clay oven (tannour). At morning bakeries, people line up for it fresh, eating it for breakfast with cheese, honey, or eggs. There are also sweet versions with sesame or date powder.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Manama bakery in the morning, a baker slaps big rounds of dough inside a clay oven and pulls out fresh thin bread with a long pole.
