IRANIAN FLATBREAD

Years a go I got this recipe from my best friends mom whose husband was Iranian. She made this lovely bread often from memory and did not have a written recipe. Because I could never get enough of it, I watched her make it one day and wrote it out. It is wonderful for dipping into stews and eating with bowls of soup. I love the left overs for breakfast the next day, if there are any, warmed in the microwave with butter and jam. It is easy and simple to make and pure heaven to eat!

Steps:

  • Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. I use my kitchenaid. Slowly add the warm water and mix to a dough consistency.
  • Knead 5-10 times on a floured board and place back in bowl to rise in a warm place. I oil the bowl first to keep from sticking.
  • Allow to rise in a warm place for about an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Divide dough in half and roll out each piece into a rectangular slab approximately 1/4 - 1/2" thick.
  • Bake in preheated 500 degree oven on the top shelf until nicely browned. Flip over to the other side and do the same. Repeat with the second slab. I brush with a small amount of melted butter to keep soft. Cover with a tea cloth to keep warm until ready to eat.

3 cups flour, and a little extra for kneading
1 tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water (mixed with olive oil)
1 teaspoon olive oil

BARBARI (A PERSIAN BREAD)

Nan-e Barbari is a popular Persian flatbread. It is often eaten with salty soft cheese such as feta with herbs (sabzi) or jam and a cup of tea for breakfast. It is similar to Armenian matnakash bread. I made this once for my Iranian boyfriend's parents and they approved :)

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in 1/2 c water, let sit a few minutes to proof (foam).
  • Mix bread flour, baking powder and salt together. Make a well in the flour, and slowly incorporate the yeast mixture, and then the remaining 1 cup of water.
  • Knead 15 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  • Divide dough into 2 round pieces.
  • Sprinkle a large baking sheet with cornmeal, transfer the dough to it. Lightly cover and place in a warm place until doubled in bulk (~1.5 hours).
  • Meanwhile, bring the glaze ingredients to a boil, let cool. Brush lightly over the dough.
  • Now for the tricky part! Dip your fingers into the glaze, and punch the dough down with the edges of your hands to form several long parallel ridges along the dough.
  • Brush the dough with the glaze again, sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Carefully stretch the dough lengthwise (it should be approximately 8 inches wide and 18 long-- I never measured it!) until it is about 1/4-1/2" thick.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes, or until golden. The bread should be slightly flexible when done. If you overcook it (as I did in my first attempt- by 8 minutes), it will turn out more like ciabatta-- still good!
  • Good luck!

  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine 2 cups of lukewarm water with the yeast and let stand for 5 minutes. Add the 4 cups of bread flour and 2 teaspoons of salt and mix at medium speed until a loose dough forms. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough is supple and smooth, about 6 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for 1 minute. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a draft-free spot until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough and form into 2 ovals. Transfer the ovals to an oiled baking sheet, cover with a sheet of oiled plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the all-purpose flour with the sugar, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1/2 cup of water. Cook the flour paste over moderate heat, whisking, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let the flour paste cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 450° and set a pizza stone on the lowest rack. Let the stone heat for at least 30 minutes. Generously sprinkle a pizza peel with semolina. Punch down 1 piece of the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured work surface. Press the dough to a 14-by-5-inch rectangle, then transfer to the peel; shake the peel lightly to make sure the dough doesn’t stick, adding more semolina if necessary. Using your fingers, press 5 deep lengthwise ridges into the dough. Rub about one-third of the flour paste over the surface and sprinkle with half of the nigella and sesame seeds. Slide the dough onto the hot stone and bake for about 18 minutes, until golden and risen. Repeat to make the second loaf (there will be some paste leftover). Serve warm.
