Uzbek Bread

Cultural Context

Originating from Uzbekistan, Uzbek bread, or Lepeshka, is a staple in Uzbek cuisine, often served with meals and enjoyed fresh from the tandoor oven. This round, flat bread symbolizes hospitality and is traditionally baked in clay ovens, known as tandirs. Today, variations of this bread can be found in Central Asian cuisines and beyond, celebrated for its chewy texture and distinctive crust.
