Tkhavak

Tkhavak is a traditional Kurdish bread known for its distinctive, flat, and often round shape. It is typically baked in a tandoor (clay oven) at high temperatures, giving it a unique, crispy crust and soft interior. The dough usually consists of simple ingredients like flour, water, salt, and sometimes yeast. Tkhavak is commonly eaten with meals or used to scoop up food, serving as both a staple and a cultural symbol in Kurdish cuisine. Its baking process and shape can vary regionally, but it remains an integral part of Kurdish culinary traditions.
