Furn Mar Elias has been open since 1962 and is run by Elias Aad, the owner’s son, his sister, and his wife. Up in "Hayy el Midan," Forn Bou Elias is an old authentic place, kept as-is for decades. Using only natural ingredients, they bake bread the authentic way with water, salt, and yeast added to flour. Don't expect to see a large signboard; the bakery is a tiny spot with white wooden doors but famous among the locals. Just ask around. We were welcomed by the magnetic smell of fresh bread that takes over the area. Inside this little shop that oozes life, Elias welcomes while busy baking some bread in an old yet huge oven. The long bread loaves are first sent for half a bake then brushed with water to give them a crunchy envelope and sent again for a couple of more minutes. Both wife and sister each have a job. One prepares the buns while the other fills the bags, and Elias, with a smile on his face, happily welcomes customers to enjoy the pieces of wonder he produces daily. The smell is different; the colors are different; everything makes you want to eat more and more. Bread, Moshtah, or Korban, each is delicious. The recipe for Moshtah is simple. Elias uses yeast, flour, salt, and water to create bread. Two different sizes and shapes. The Moshtah is a piece of oval bread around 1 cm thick. It has a dozen holes running through it, which makes it airier. The bread or sandwiches are large with a crunchy envelope and a rich condensed core. Hot, they taste like heaven. After that, I decided to have a piece of Korban in which they added a bit of sugar, mahlab, and rose water to the recipe: these are different from the ones distributed in Beiruti churches, which are more condensed, sweeter and surely taste more commercial. I just imagined filling one of those with cheese, giving it a quick toast, and enjoying a tasty creation.

I’m Anthony Rahayel, passionate Lebanese, dental surgeon by profession, professional photographer, advocate of great food, blogger, YouTuber, influencer, marketing expert and TV presenter; having one and single aim, that is to show Lebanese and the world, “Lebanon as not seen on TV”.

Since 2012 I’ve had only one goal – To uncover the real face of Lebanon, not the one that makes headlines on international television shows, but the real, the amazing, traditional and authentic Lebanon. It is that Lebanon I seek to broadcast far and wide. A Lebanon full of life, passion, and vitality, full of people who are producing the most wonderful dishes, meals, desserts, and much, much more.
