Kaak is a Lebanese street bread, shaped like a purse, coated in sesame seeds, and sold from carts by street vendors.

When in Beirut, if you purchase Kaak (street bread, or cart bread), you can ask the vendor to create a pocket in the "purse" and then sprinkle it with za'atar, sumak, or fill it with Halloumi or Cream Cheese. This is evidently the traditional way to eat this bread.
