Loaves of Jordanian Bread with Sesame Seeds at Amman, Jordan

Jordanians love their bread so it is baked in several styles. There is a pita bread called khubz, a Bedouin style cooked on a hot griddle called shrak (see picture in “world people” gallery), plus breads made from corn, those that are flat, unleavened ones plus others covered with sesame seeds. Many of these have pockets or are wrapped for a sandwich containing hummus, olive oil, meats and vegetables plus a sprinkle of za’atar, which is a blend of oregano and other herbs. These varieties are often served meze style so you can sample all the delicious flavors of Jordanian cuisine.
