Taboon bread (Arabic: خبز طابون, romanized: khubz ṭābūn) is Levantine flatbread baked in a taboon or tannur 'tandoor' clay oven, similar to the various tandoor breads found in many parts of Asia.
[5] It is the base of musakhan, often considered the national dish of Palestine.
Gustaf Dalman, a German orientalist, documented its making in Palestine in the early 20th-century, among other types of breads.
[7] Over the centuries, bread-making in communal taboons played an important social role for women in Palestinian villages.
