Pan-Fried Turmeric Bread (Kubez Kimaaj)

Kubez bread, also known as kimaaj, is Arabic flatbread or pita bread. It is a staple in the Middle East and is used as a versatile accompaniment for various dishes or as a wrap for sandwiches.

Kubez is typically round and flat, with a soft and chewy texture. The dough is rolled out into thin rounds and baked at a high temperature, causing it to puff up and create a pocket inside, perfect for stuffing with vegetables, spreads, or dips.

I’ve used 100% all-purpose flour for this recipe, but feel free to experiment with a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flour if you prefer. The results will be equally fantastic.

This bread can also be stored and reheated later, either by wrapping it in foil and warming it in the oven or by quickly toasting it under the broiler or on the stovetop.
