Kubaneh, pull-apart Yemeni bread

Profile picture for user Cuisine Fiend

There are so many wonderful things about this bread, I don't know where to start. It's buttery like laminated dough but infinitely easier. It's actually fun to make. It's sociable, pull-apart, tear 'n' share bread. And it's a showpiece with a huge 'wow' factor.
Jewish breads are usually excellent, this one is the traditional bake of the Yemenite Jews. If you want to look at the details, here's my recipe link: kubaneh, yemeni bread

Those black bits are black onion (nigella) seeds.

This looks VERY good! Is there a story behind the bread? And please share the recipe! Thanks, frank!
