Featuring Assyrian, Middle Eastern, and other inspirational recipes
BREAD! Hot, steaming, and squishy! With a heavenly scent that beckons all the family members into the kitchen. Each of them begging for the first slice. Smeared with butter, or topped with sharp cheddar cheese, I’m just too weak to resist! In fact, if I could choose one food to eat for the rest of my life, can you guess what it would be?
Assyrians eat A LOT of bread! In fact, it’s usually served with every meal, yes, even with rice! Pita pockets are quite popular, along with samoon. Although all bread is referred to as “samoon” in Assyrian, it also describes a specific type. It has a distinct shape, similar to a flat-football. Sometimes it’s used to make sandwiches, and other times torn in chunks to dip into stews.

You knew it had to happen, after all, it’s September. I think I’ve shown enough restraint. But with “pumpkin spice everything” season upon us, you had to know that I would be sharing some pumpkin recipes. To kick things off, I would like to share my favorite extra moist pumpkin bread recipe.
I’m finally getting around to posting one of my sought-after recipes; my moist and irresistible fig bread. Some of my friends refer to it as “Fig Bread,” while others call it “Fig Cake.”
This was the first sourdough bread recipe I ever came up with. I loved the idea of Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough Bread because as I’ve mentioned before, everyone in my family loves spicy food. The cheese is just an added bonus!
