There’s only one type of bread, a kaek sesame loaf, and while7

…In every direction within about a 500 meter radius, you’ll see people walking down the sidewalk, or driving in their cars, their faces stuffed into crusty sesame bread sandwiches.

And you’ll know immediately, they just bought a fresh piece of sesame bread, filled with baked eggs, cheese, and za’atar from one of the most well known and one of the best bakeries in all of Amman: Salaheddin Bakery.

When you’re in Amman, this is a bakery you don’t want to miss.

Salaheddin Bakery (مخبز صلاح الدين)
Not only known for baking one of the best kaek (also spelled at ka3ek or ka’ek) sesame buns in all of Amman, but Salaheddin Bakery is also one of the oldest and most popular bakeries in the city.

I didn’t really have any plans to do anything else on my final day in Amman.

But I knew with certainty that I needed to make a stop at the famous Salaheddin Bakery for a taste of their sesame bread sandwich.

Luckily, the bakery was located just a short distance from the hotel in Amman that I was staying at, so just walking down a few flights of stairs, to get to the valley below, located along the main road, in the Abdali Neighborhood, and I arrived.

Again, as I was walking to the bakery, I saw so many people in their cars eating the sesame bread and it only built upon my anticipation.

YOU’LL SMELL THE BREAD AS SOON AS YOU ENTER
The big blue sign, the crowd of people standing outside, and the car parking lot – that actually wasn’t a parking lot at all, but just the far right lane turned into a parking lot because so many cars were stopping – made Salaheddin Bakery pretty easy to find.

The door was open and as soon as I stepped inside the aroma of fresh baked bread completely overwhelmed me to the point where it would have actually been impossible not to eat bread when stepping inside.

Do It Yourself Sandwiches
Everything at Salaheddin Bakery is do it yourself.

You walk in, and almost certainly it will be pretty packed, especially dominated by males. And towards the back is where all the bread is being baked.

Kaek sesame bread
KAEK BREAD
There’s only one type of bread, a kaek sesame loaf, and while kaek can sometimes be in bagel shape, this is in a mini loaf shape.

As soon as a batch of fresh bread is ready, it’s removed from the brick over, and a paddle full of hot fresh bread is tossed into a wooden box, ready to be consumed. At this point, you and a bunch of others will start grabbing bread – be a little aggressive.

You can then proceed to go over to one of the counters, slice open your piping hot sesame encrusted loaf, and add in whatever you see on the counter top.

baked eggs
BAKED EGG – LOOKS A BIT LIKE DINOSAUR EGGS
There were a few trays of baked eggs, baked in the same clay oven. And then there were rounds of Happy Cow like cheese, though a different brand, a bowl of chili sauce and salt, and finally a monstrous basin full of za’atar.

From what I noticed, there was no queue system, you just kind of reach around others, grab, and make your own sandwich.

Everyone is friendly, but at the same time, everyone hardly can wait to dress up their kaek sandwich, sprinkle it full of za’atar, and take their first bite.

za'atar
DON’T MISS OUT ON THE ZA’ATAR
When you’re done preparing your sandwich, you can then grab a paper bag, pay at the front near the door, and either take it to go, or just stand either outside or along the indoor counter and devour.

It’s an indoor street food environment, and it’s fantastic. I loved every moment of being within the action of the bakery.

For my kaek sesame sandwich I sliced it in half, added 2 triangles of cheese, 1 hard baked egg, chili sauce, a sprinkle of salt, and a few pinches of za’atar. Had I not already eaten 2 eggs for breakfast at my hotel a couple hours previously, I would have definitely gone with 2 eggs.

IT WAS ALL ABOUT THOSE SESAME SEEDS!
Ying and I headed outside the door, to take our first bite of the famous bread.

As soon as I took my very first bite, I knew exactly why everyone was at Salaheddin Bakery and why so many consider it the best bakery in Amman: It was all about the bread.

The inside was hot and fluffy, while the outside was perfectly crusty, and fragrant from the layer of crispy toasted sesame seeds on top. It was one of those loaves of bread where, when you take a bite, the bread collapses in your mouth with the combination of crust and fluffiness, and still piping hot right out of the oven.

SIMPLE AND AMAZING SANDWICH IN AMMAN
All the inside ingredients, the hard baked egg, the cheese that tasted similar to cream cheese (and reminded me of my childhood when I used to love that type of Happy Cow cheese), and the za’atar, were all good, and complemented the bread wonderfully, but it was really all about that bread.
