From Our Oven, To Your Family.

Pocket pita and Zaatar bread from a recipe our family has baked for 86 years. Every round spends six seconds in a 1100°F oven and puffs into a pocket that holds fillings and sauces.

Where to buy our bread
Our production line: a heap of dough turns in the hopper of the dough divider, which rolls each ball out onto the belt, is pressed flat between two rollers, rises under a warm canopy, goes through a brick oven at 1100°F for about six seconds and comes out puffed into a pocket, then cools, is stacked and packed into a clear Cham bag gathered under a red tie, the stack of pitas showing through it and the Cham logo in white on a red band. A finished bag comes off the line every six seconds.

One bread, every meal

Dip It. Roll It. Stuff It.

Soft enough to roll without cracking, with a pocket that opens for whatever you put in it.

About the bread

Baked in a brick oven at 1100°F.

A family recipe from Lebanon, since 1940: a simple dough and a very hot oven.

  1. The recipe

    Our grandfather's recipe from 1940, passed down three generations. A short list of ingredients, led by unbleached flour, water, sugar, salt and yeast.

  2. The oven

    A traditional oven at 1100°F. Six seconds inside and the round puffs into a pocket, toasted in spots on top.

  3. The bakery

    Our fully automated line in St. Louis makes every loaf the same way and fills 1 bag every 6 seconds. The bakery is certified Kosher and Halal.
