About the dish

Khbeiza bil tonn is a small stuffed bread originating from Libya. The dough, which consists of flour, milk, butter, and yeast, is typically shaped into small loaves, crescents, or balls. Although these tasty snacks are often filled with dried mint, white cheese, and olives, the most popular stuffing is made with tuna and harissa. It is recommended to decorate the stuffed bread with cumin or sesame seeds before baking. In Libyan homes, khbeiza bil tonn is usually served to guests with a cup of tea on the side.
