From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is sometimes flavored with anise seeds. An oven-cooked version, also known as , known as khobz el koucha (Arabic: خبز الكوشة) or matloua el koucha (Arabic: مطلوع الكوشة), is about an inch thick, and was traditionally prepared at home and then taken to a communal oven to be baked; some bakeries still offer this service.[1] A thinner version, Khobz al-tajin (Arabic: خبز الطاجين), is cooked in an earthenware pan called tajine.
