Khamir bread from emirati cuisine recipes
khameer bread description
This can easily qualify as the softest bread in the world. Khameer bread is a round, puffy flatbread with two layers that separate easily. Instead of sugar, dates are used to sweeten this bread. Fennel, saffron, and cardamom are flavoring agents in the bread. It would help if you had an oven to make this. In the old days, Arabs used coal ovens to bake khameer bread.
The khameer bread might remind you of the burger bun with a sprinkle of sesame seeds garnished on top. While eating, you can split the layers and fill the butter or cream inside. The bread is so soft that a fresh Khameer will melt with a touch of your tongue.
