Himbasha
Himbasha or Ambasha (Amharic: አምባሻ), is an Ethiopian and Eritrean celebration bread that is slightly sweet. It became popular in Eritrean cuisine, often served at special occasions. It is prepared in a number of varieties depending on region and nationality with the main two being the quintessential Ethiopian variant, and the more distinctive Eritrean flavoring with raisins. The dough is given a decorative touch before baking. The design varies in detail, but in general, is given the shape of a wheel with indentations to create several spokes (see picture). Common additions to the recipe include candied orange, ginger, or ground cardamom seeds, although plain varieties are not unheard of.
