A Rabati celebration loaf, golden with egg wash, freckled with sesame and anise, and scored before baking so the table sees at once: today is not an ordinary day.
The gesture is the decoration. Before this loaf goes into the oven, you mark it with the point of a knife, little cuts and lines that open into pattern as the bread swells. Too shallow and the design disappears. Too deep and the loaf loses its proud round shape. La balance est dans les yeux, the scale is in the eyes, and here the eye is also in the hand.
