🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe

Ambasha

Ambasha is a lightly sweetened, beautifully decorated Ethiopian celebration bread traditionally baked for holidays, weddings, and special gatherings. Flavored with cardamom, coriander, and fenugreek, and scored with an intricate sunburst pattern on top, this round bread is as much a work of art as it is a delicious centerpiece for festive Ethiopian meals.
