Eish Baladi

Eish Baladi is a round, pocket-style flatbread common across Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, often used to hold fillings or served alongside dips. It’s known for its soft, slightly chewy texture and the characteristic pocket that forms during baking. Nutritionally it is a carbohydrate-forward staple that also provides a modest amount of protein — about 9.1g per 100g — though it tends to be lower in fiber and micronutrient density than whole-grain breads. As a refined flatbread, it can be a convenient base for balanced meals but choosing whole-grain varieties or pairing it with vegetables, beans and healthy fats will improve its nutritional profile.
