Bobota, tomato paste and yogurt dip

Bobota, the traditional bread with corn flour, tomato paste and yogurt dip

Bobota is a rustic, traditional Greek cornbread made with corn flour, once considered a humble, everyday staple. With its slightly crispy crust and soft, dense interior, this simple yet flavorful bread embodies the essence of Greek country cooking.

Paired with a rich, umami-packed tomato paste spread and a creamy, tangy yogurt dip, Bobota transforms into a delicious appetizer or side dish. The combination of the hearty cornbread, the sweetness of tomato, and the refreshing yogurt creates a beautifully balanced taste experience.

Enjoy it warm, drizzled with olive oil, or alongside cheese and olives for an authentic Mediterranean delight. A perfect choice for those who appreciate traditional flavors with a modern touch!
