Ka'ak (Arabic: ???), is a biscuit traditionally baked while clinging to the wall of a clay oven, or on the floor of a masonry oven. The dough is enriched with oil, sugar, black cumin, and yeast, and flavored with condiments, such as honey or sugar, and it is basted with egg yolks (as desired). It is eaten extensively throughout the Middle East and Persia.
