Fatoot is a traditional Arabian bread often served as a side dish or breakfast item, especially during Ramadan. Originating from the Medina region, it has been a staple in households for generations. Fatoot is known for its unique preparation and distinctive flavor.


It's a type of unleavened bread made primarily from wheat flour, water, and salt, and it's typically baked on a hot griddle or saj, a convex metal cooking surface. The bread is thin, soft, and flexible, making it a perfect accompaniment for various dishes or to be enjoyed on its own.
