Himbasha or ambasha is a traditional and Ethiopian flatbread consisting of flour, water, yeast, sugar, sesame seeds, ground cardamom, and raisins (only in Eritrean version) resulting in a unique combination of sweet and savory flavors. It is characterized by a decorative wheel pattern that is scored on its top. In Eritrea and Ethiopia, himbasha is traditionally consumed for breakfast after mass, but it is also a popular item at numerous festivities and celebrations. Interestingly, breaking this bread over the back of a child on his first birthday to give him strength is a local tradition.
