The Art of Artisanal Flatbreads
While pita bread is widely known, the true connoisseurs of Middle Eastern cuisine understand the irreplaceable value of paper-thin Markouk and rustic, hearth-baked Tannour breads. In Michigan, where the standard for authentic Arabic food is exceptionally high, finding a reliable wholesale supplier for these specialty breads is crucial for restaurants and markets.
Crafting the Perfect Markouk
Markouk, also known as Saj bread, requires immense skill to produce. The dough must be stretched paper-thin over a domed griddle without tearing, resulting in a large, translucent flatbread that is perfect for wrapping delicate ingredients or serving alongside mezze platters. Al Shams Bakery employs master bakers who have perfected this traditional technique, allowing us to supply Michigan's top restaurants with authentic Markouk daily.
The Rustic Appeal of Tannour
Tannour bread, baked in a traditional clay oven (or its modern equivalent), offers a thicker, more robust texture with beautifully charred edges. It's the ideal companion for hearty stews, grilled meats, and robust dips. As Michigan's leading wholesale bakery, we ensure our Tannour bread retains that unmistakable smoky aroma and chewy texture that your customers crave.
Wholesale Reliability
Supplying these specialty breads requires not just culinary expertise, but logistical reliability. Al Shams Bakery's wholesale program is designed to deliver fresh Markouk and Tannour to your Michigan business consistently, ensuring you never run out of the authentic foundations of your menu.
