Daghabees

Daghabees is a bread from the Al-Baha Region, typically enjoyed for lunch or dinner, that has been present in the region for at least 80–100 years and a staple dish of the Al-Ghamdi Tribe. To prepare daghabees, various flours (wheat or millet) are mixed with water to create a paste-like mixture. This dough is shaped into rounds that are dropped into a boiling broth full of meat and an array of spices and simmered for 15 minutes. Often served with vegetables, ghee, and honey, it's a hearty dish traditionally relished in winter for its warming qualities but available year-round. Despite its cultural significance, daghabees faces challenges due to changing preferences and the potential loss of traditional recipes.
