Syrian Saj Bread

Cultural Context

Saj bread, traditionally cooked on a convex griddle known as a saj, has deep roots in the Levant region, especially in Syria. This flatbread is a staple in many households, often served with a variety of dips, meats, and vegetables. It symbolizes hospitality and is commonly enjoyed during gatherings and celebrations. In modern times, saj bread has gained popularity beyond the Middle East, with many variations emerging worldwide, adapting to local tastes and ingredients.
