Topic: Nan-e Barbari (Persian Flatbread)

[Kashmiri Bob]

Walked past a newly opened Iranian food shop yesterday and the waft from their bakery drew me in.  Bread made with "regular" flour is a keto no-no, but I thought maybe I can get a mini naan, or something, just to have a look at it.

This is what I got:











Freshly baked.  Has to be over 3 feet long.  Very light and crispy, sprinkled with sesame and kalonji seeds.  I tried a small piece, brushed with butter ghee.  Divine!  Let the rest cool before popping it in the fridge.  Just about to cut it into 25-30 g (ish) portions, for deep freeze.  It should last me quite some time.  It cost £2.







Just had to make a curry last night.  So I could have another little piece of the bread.

Now that is what I call a flatbread !  You should take it to the Mulberry Tree near Marden, Kent, where the last time I went there the butter portion was so small that it would barely have covered a Smartie ...

Wow that bread looks amazing. Puts me in mind of the first time I had dosa and it came out extending a foot over both sides of the plate. Delicious.

Shame I'm off the flour. I'd love to give that a try, but then I wouldn't know where to look for one over here.
