Algerian Homemade Bread with Nigella Seeds – Khobz Eddar Bโ€™ Sanoudj

Khobz Eddar ( Arabic ุฎุจุฒ ุงู„ุฏุงุฑ ), litteraly means โ€œthe bread of the houseโ€, is an Algerian homemade bread which is served with almost everything. It is served with morning or afternoon coffee ( or tea), with soups, stews for lunch or dinner and it is very much present on Algerian Ramadan table .

Khobz Eddar can be made with fine semolina, with all purpose flour or a mix of semolina and all purpose flour. I have chosen to make my Khobz Eddar with a mix of fine semolina and flour. It came out nice and fluffy.

There are several recipes of Khobz Eddar and this is my recipe. It is very easy to make and it doesnโ€™t require much kneading of the dough. The add of Nigella Seeds known for its health benefits, makes this bread extra special.
This bread was made with a mix of semolina and flour.

This bread was made with flour only and the milk was replaced with water ( the rest of the ingredients are the same). I just added Sesame and Nigella seeds on top.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fine semolina
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 whole egg and 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp Nigella seeds plus 1 tsp extra for garnish
  • 1 tbsp dry active yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water

Egg wash

  • 1 egg yolk beaten mixed with 2 drops water

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, put semolina, flour, 1 whole egg, 1 egg white, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, yeast and milk.

  2. You can mix everything together with your hands or a wooden spoon or just use the stand mixer with a hook attachment. Mix until the dough gets together for about 5 minutes.

  3. Add water gradually while mixing. You may need to replace the hook attachment with the flat beater since the dough is less heavy after adding water.

  4. Keep mixing on low for about 10 minutes.

  5. Add salt and mix it well.

  6. Add 1 tablespoon of Nigella seeds then mix well. The dough mixture obtained is sticky and very soft.

  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and kitchen towel in the same bowl until doubled in volume. This may take 1 to 2 hours (depending on the temperature of your kitchen).

  8. Put the dough in a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Spread it evenly in that pan with a silicon spatula (the thickness is your choice but the thinner, the better as it will rise).

  9. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let rise again until almost doubled in volume.

  10. Gently brush the surface of the bread (dough) with egg wash.

  11. Sprinkle Nigella seeds on top.

  12. Bake in a 375 ยฐF preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. You may place the Bread or Khobz Eddar under the broiler in the last 5 minutes of baking to get that golden color.

  13. Let cool a little bit then cut and serve.

Recipe Notes

  • The total time in this recipe didnโ€™t include the rising time of the dough.
  • The thickness of Khobz Eddar is your choice. I have used a 9×9 inch pan in this recipe.
  • If you donโ€™t like Nigella Seeds, you can replace them with sesame seeds and thatโ€™s optional.
  • You can bake the bread in a 350ยฐF depending on your oven.
  • You can make this bread with semolina only (you may add more water to it).
  • You can make this bread with flour only.
