Daktyla () is a leavened 'country' or 'village' bread from Greece, but also popular in Cyprus and Turkey.
It has a segmented shape resembling fingers of bread, which give it its name of 'finger bread' (Δάχτυλα, Daktyla in Greek means "fingers"), which is made by making deep slashes in a loaf before baking, or making a row of rolls of dough and allowing them to become attached to each other at proving stage. It is traditionally made from a 'country' flour, which is a mix of wheat flours and fine cornmeal, which gives it a light yellow colour, and is topped with sesame and nigella seeds, some recipes also include nigella seeds in the dough.
