If I have to pick just one thing that Jordan does well, I pick the country’s selection of bread. I’m not just talking about traditional Jordanian bread, but also the wide range of not-so-Middle Eastern bread. From French baguettes, German Vollkornbrot to my personal favorite, sourdough, you can find pretty much any type of bread you’re looking for in Amman. And if you need gluten-free, sugar-free, or vegan-friendly, you can find that too!
Without further ado, here’s the official list of the best bread bakeries in Amman:
Crust Artisanal Bakery
Specializing in bakes using local ingredients whenever possible as well as French desserts. Crowd favorities that you must try are the Cinnamon Twist and Crust Sourdough.
Note: I’m putting this bakery first as it’s my personal favorite
My personal favorites: focaccia, olive bread, sourdough
Location: Abdoun
Foron Rex
