Khubz al-ʾAbbas (Arabic: خبز العباس, lit. 'bread of Abbas,') is a type of flatbread originating in southern Iraq.[1][2] It is commonly offered as an act of charity during religious ceremonies, and various occasions of celebration or mourning.[3] Its namesake is a reference to Abbas ibn Ali, also known by the kunya Abu al-Fadl (Arabic: أَبو الْفَضْل, lit. 'father of virtue').[4][5] The khubz is baked similarly to common bread, but is often served with added vegetables such as celery, parsley, mint, basil leaves, or garden cress.[6] It may also be prepared with meat, cheese, vegetables, and onion.[7]

The name gained popularity on social media through a viral Iraqi video in September 2024, featuring the hosa refrain, "Don't go too far, we'll bake you like khubz al-'Abbas."[8][9] The phrase refers to the slap of the palm, a key part of the bread’s preparation method.[10]
