Khobz (, bread), khobz el-dâr (, also "khobz eddar", bread of the house), or matloua () is a type of Maghrebi leavened bread made in a round and somewhat flat loaf. It is often homemade, and typically prepared with white flour mixed with whole wheat or semolina flour. It is sometimes flavored with anise seeds. An oven-cooked version, also known as khobz el koucha () or matloua el koucha (), is about an inch thick, and was traditionally prepared at home and then taken to a communal oven to be baked; some bakeries still offer this service. A thinner version, Khobz al-tajin (), is cooked in an earthenware pan called tajine.
