Maltout (Arabic: الملتوت) is a traditional Palestinian flatbread flavored with olive oil. Commonly associated with rural Palestinian cuisine, it is especially popular during the olive harvest season and is typically served warm for breakfast alongside za'atar, tea, or yogurt.[1][2][3][4] It is traditionally prepared in a taboon oven.[5] Its preparation is associated with communal farming traditions.[6]
Description
