Description
In Palestinian cooking, flatbread (khobz, taboon) is not a vehicle for other preparations — it is a structural element of the meal itself. The taboon bread baked in a clay oven (taboon) absorbs liquids, carries meat and vegetables, replaces utensils, and provides the textural foundation for preparations from musakhan to fatteh to simple labneh with olive oil. Understanding bread as structure rather than as accompaniment is the central shift in approaching Palestinian food.
