Kesra

(Khobz F'tir, Aghrum Aquran, Arekhsas, كسرة)

Kesra or khobz f'tir is a traditional flatbread that is used as a daily bread. The dough consists of semolina, oil, salt, and water, and typically contains no yeast. Unlike the similar khobz el dar, kesra is not baked, but cooked on a tagine or on the stove.


It is recommended to pair kesra with an Algerian chicken and freekeh soup called chorba.
