Ever wondered what the ancient Greeks ate to stay strong? In this video, I recreate Maza, a simple yet powerful barley bread that sustained warriors, athletes, and philosophers alike.

Learn how to make this ancient superfood, which is loved by all classes of Greek society. Follow along as I explain the recipe and uncover its historical significance.

Take barley flour and toast it in a pan until golden brown. Then, mix in a splash of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and enough water to make it into a workable dough. Shape into flatbreads and enjoy. There is no need to cook further—the flour has already been toasted!

On my spear’s my daily bread,
on my spear my wine
from Ismaros; and drinking it,
it’s on my spear I recline.

Where do you get whole grain barley flour, or do they even make a white barley flour?
