Tamees is a traditional flatbread that is widely popular in Saudi Arabia and other parts of the Arabian Peninsula, as well as in some South Asian countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan. This bread is known for its soft, fluffy texture and slightly chewy consistency.

Tamees is typically made from basic ingredients such as wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, with addition of milk to enrich the dough. The preparation of tamees involves mixing the ingredients to form a smooth dough, which is then allowed to rise.

After the dough has risen, it is divided into portions and rolled out into large, flat rounds. The rounds are then baked in a wood-fired stone oven, which gives the bread its distinctive texture and slightly smoky flavor. The high heat of the oven causes the bread to puff up, creating a light and airy interior.

Tamees is often enjoyed with a variety of accompaniments. It is commonly served with beans, cheese, or honey for breakfast, and it can also be paired with savory dishes such as meat stews and curries.
