Kesra

Evidence for the bread referent

Treat Algerian bread as the working interpretation until registry provenance confirms it.

1. Does the originating registry record identify Kesra as bread rather than a place or another referent? provenance
2. What ingredient, image or culinary description supports matching this item to that referent? definition

Attributed variant

Record regional or household naming and its recipe evidence instead of assuming adjacent bread names are exact synonyms.

1. Which community, producer or recipe supplies the item's variant name? provenance
2. Does that source distinguish this Kesra from matlouh, harcha or other semolina breads, and on what grounds? boundary

Semolina specification

Keep cereal species, semolina grade and flour additions explicit.

1. Which cereals and semolina grades were used, and was flour blended into them? provenance
2. What mass fraction does each cereal ingredient contribute to the cereal base? measurement

Recipe-dependent additions

Leavening must remain a recorded variable: a published community Kesra recipe includes yeast and optional milk powder. Reference: [Groundwork Algerian cooking collection](https://www.groundwork.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Creating-Communities-E-Book.pdf).

1. What quantities of water, fat and salt were added relative to the cereal mass? measurement
2. Were yeast, milk, seeds or other additions used, and what ingredient declarations follow from the actual recipe? provenance

Formed galette

Capture dimensions, docking and turning where used, without prescribing one technique for every variant.

1. What were the shaped bread's thickness and diameter, and was its surface pricked? measurement
2. Which cooking surface and turning sequence produced the observed pattern on each face? provenance

Variant-specific cooking endpoint

Distinguish intended firm or crumbly texture from a poorly set interior or excessive scorching.

1. How do the cut interior and both cooked faces compare with the recipe's stated endpoint? measurement
2. Does the observed interior require further cooking, and can that occur without excessively scorching the faces? action

Freshness evidence

Separate elapsed time and observed texture changes from unsupported shelf-life claims.

1. When was this Kesra cooked, and how was it cooled, wrapped and stored? provenance
2. What drying, condensation, odour changes or visible deterioration have been observed? measurement

Fitness for intended serving

Record whether the bread should hold together in pieces, crumble readily or tolerate reheating for the proposed use.

1. Does this batch's thickness and cohesion suit the intended cutting, breaking or accompaniment use? action
2. What reheating method, if any, has been established for this recipe and storage state? action
