Breakfast Bazeen (Barley Dough Porridge)

Breakfast Bazeen is an ancient Najdi specialty made by kneading barley flour with water into a firm dough ball, then simmering it in a camel or goat broth. It’s traditionally wrapped in cloth, boiled briefly, and served sliced with broth and sweet sauce.
Maritime tales from the desert note Bedouins boiled Bazeen in communal pots during camel caravans, sharing energy before heading toward markets. A traditional proverb states: “Barley in hand, strength in the journey.” At Munch Classes, you’ll learn dough handling and authentic cooking methods carried across centuries.
