I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread came out really dry. Maybe I didn't add enough water?

This bread was a bit too dense for me. I think I overkneaded the dough.

A bit bland for my taste. Maybe I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.

This was my first time making ksra bread and it came out great! I was a bit worried about the semolina flour, but it gave the bread a really nice texture. Definitely recommend this recipe.

This ksra bread turned out amazing! It was easy to make and had a delicious, slightly tangy flavor. I served it with a spicy tomato sauce and it was the perfect combination.
