Breakfast Samoon (Saudi Bread Roll)

Breakfast Samoon is a soft, dome-shaped bread roll commonly found in Saudi bakeries, reminiscent of Iraqi and Levantine rolls. Loved in urban breakfast tables, it’s sliced to fill with cheese, eggs, or halawa.
A street baker in Riyadh famously created Samoon by shaping leftover dough into dome rolls — customers lined up as they cooled. A shared proverb: “Soft roll, soft heart.” In Munch Classes, you’ll explore yeast dough shaping and gentle crumb technique.
