Or Maltese bread, is the word meaning for bread in Maltese, it came from Arabic Language, well most of the Maltese language are influenced by Arabic language as by the Latinate one, Malta was known for a Self-governing client nation of the Empire, of course there's Roman, Rome  left a plethora of excellent baking techniques and technology behind it, which is mostly why Malta's baking is so good.

The bread itself comes in variant shapes, Ftira also one of em, The thing that all the varieties seem to have in common is that they're all breads, it must been using a starter therefore or at least technically are sourdoughs, I thought they use yeast all this time? until today modern recipe do use commercial yeast. Of course there are some conflict where some bakers choose to not to use yeast, also some are bragging about using it andd something like that.


It looks so appealing to be honest, it looks so versatile, like you almost can eat it in many way
