Taboon bread is simply a type of flat bread that is cooked in a clay oven over rocks heated by a fire.

The oven itself is known as a taboon oven which in the very old days was fashioned by hand.

Not having a flat surface of tiles or bricks, loose stones were laid over the heat source.

This allowed the bread to bake at high temperatures, which is what all good bread needs.

The bread dough would be placed directly on the stones creating the signature bumps that distinguishes taboon bread from other types.

We know of stories of many grandmothers who had one that was built just outside off their kitchens in Palestine. They would sit on the ground and bake bread for the day!

Taboon is also used to prepare the famous Palestinian dish called for Musakhan
