Al-Muhalla

Al-Muhalla is an ancient and traditional sweet bread, typically enjoyed during the winter months across the Middle East and North Africa.
This bread is celebrated for its creamy, rich texture and slightly sweet flavour, crafted from basic ingredients like flour, sugar, and yeast. Al-Muhalla is also considered nutritious and healthy, with whole wheat flour as its base, combined with ghee or butter, dates, and a blend of aromatic spices. Often associated with festive gatherings, Al-Muhalla carries significant cultural weight, with variations in ingredients and shapes reflecting the diverse regions it hails from.
