Himbasha is a slightly sweet, festive Ethiopian and Eritrean bread made with flour, yeast, sugar, and milk or water, and flavored with cardamom or black sesame seeds. It is traditionally shaped into a large round loaf with decorative patterns etched on top before baking. Originating from Tigray and Eritrean Christian communities, Himbasha is served during holidays, weddings, and baptisms, symbolizing hospitality and joy. Its soft interior and gently spiced flavor make it perfect with coffee or as a ceremonial treat.

Common variations include raisin-studded himbasha or versions with nutmeg, cinnamon, or ginger.
