Freshly baked Persian Naan-e Barbari bread

Naan-e Barbari - Persian Naan

Naan-e Barbari is a famous Persian bread, extremely popular in Iran and Central Asia. Originally, it was brought to Iran by the Afghan Barbari people and has since become one of the most well-known Iranian flatbreads. The characteristic longitudinal grooves help it bake evenly, while the sesame or nigella seeds add a special flavor. It is most often eaten for breakfast with cheese, butter, and tea, but it is also an excellent choice alongside savory and sweet dishes.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

    3

    Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then start kneading the dough.

    4

    Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

    5

    Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

    6

    Divide the dough into two equal parts, then shape them into oval flatbreads (about 1 cm thick).

    7

    Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and using your fingers, create the characteristic longitudinal indentations on top.

    8

    Sprinkle the breads with sesame seeds or nigella seeds.

    9

    Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and bake the naans for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
