Kubaneh (Arabic: ?????? ; Hebrew: ???????????), is a leavened bread baked in a greased pot with a tightly-sealed lid, where it cooks in its own vapors. Traditionally eaten by the Jews of Yemen on Sabbath days and holidays, the pot is usually placed in an oven (formerly a clay oven where it was laid upon dying embers or coals) shortly before nightfall where it remains until the following day, when it is eaten for the Sabbath meal or at brunch.
