Khubz - bread

Choice.
The bread should be clean, salted, well kneaded and fermented, well baked in tannur, and one day old. It should not be eaten hot without anything. Hot bread is unacceptable to nature. Bread baked in tannur is followed by bread baked in an oven, and bread baked in other ways is bad. Bread made from selected flour is better than bread made from ordinary flour.

The purer the dough, the better it should be allowed to rise; you need to salt it more, knead it more, and then leave it so that the dough comes together better.

Oven bread is not the same as tannur bread, which is baked equally on both sides; bread baked in ashes, raw inside; washed bread is cooling, has little nutritional value and floats in the stomach; it is good for people with a hot nature, as it does not cause blockages and does not warm up. The method of washing bread is as follows; They take yesterday’s bread and soak the crumb in hot water, then wash off the water that covers it on top, and renew the water until the strength of the leaven and other substances leaves the bread and the bread reaches its swelling limit.

Choice.
Bread made from selected flour is more nutritious than any other and provides better nutrients, but it penetrates into the blood vessels more slowly. Plain white bread follows it in all its qualities, and bread made from coarse flour, rich in bran, quickly penetrates the blood vessels, but is less nutritious and generally worse. Bread that is not well baked is more nutritious, as is bread that has little leaven in it, but its nutrient is viscous and creates blockages; it is only suitable for those who move a lot. Bread baked in ashes is of the same kind, for its interior is not baked well, and washed bread has little nutrition and is far from forming blockages; it is easy to digest and weighs little.

Bread made from bad wheat is judged in the same way as bread made from coarse flour; Kataif bread produces thick juice, while crumbled bread is very puffy and digests slowly. The best bread is that which is mixed with almond butter and should be dried in the shade. Bread mixed with milk is richly nourishing, deflates slowly and creates blockages.

A medicinal bandage made from bread is hotter than a medicinal bandage made from wheat due to the presence of salt in the bread.

Cosmetics.
Bread made from new wheat quickly becomes fat.

Tumors and acne.
Wheat bread with water sweetened with honey and suitable squeezed juices is good for hot tumors; it softens and cools them.

Wounds and ulcers.
Bread mixed with water and salt is beneficial if the lichen is moistened with this mixture.

Nutritional organs.
Hot bread, due to its warmth, arouses thirst. It floats in the stomach due to its steamy moisture and therefore quickly saturates. Hot bread is quickly digested, but deflates slowly.

Eruption organs.
Bread made from coarse flour softens the nature, and white bread strengthens. Leavened bread softens, but unleavened bread strengthens; bread baked in ashes is one of those that strengthens.

Old stale bread strengthens, even if some other bread is mixed with it; Kataif bread strengthens the stomach, and bread made from ordinary flour strengthens the stomach more than bread made from choice flour.
