Samoon (Arabic: صمون) is a type of yeast bread that is consumed mainly in Iraq.
It is usually served with a variety of foods such as hummus, kebab, and shawarma.
[citation needed] It is one of the most popular breads used in Iraq and across the Levant and variants can be found in Syria and Lebanon.
It can be also found in other Middle Eastern and European countries.
[2] A key differentiator in most samoon is the use of live-culture yogurt as a leavener.
