Nan-E Barbari (Persian Flat Bread)
Ingredients :
3 cup Whole wheat flour
2 cup Corn flour
2 cup Warm water (110F, 45C)
1/4 cup Warm water (110F, 45C)
1 pkt (0.25-oz) active dry yeast
3 tbl White sugar
3 tbl Sunflower oil
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 cup Sesame seeds
Milk
Method :
There is a similar Persian bread called Nune. Here is the recipe for it.
Makes 4 loaves.
1. Pour 1/4 cup of warm water into a small bowl, and sprinkle the yeast over it. Stir until dissolved.
2. Thoroughly mix the flour and cinnamon together. Then make a well in the centre, and put into it the dissolved yeast, sugar, oil, and 2 cups of warm water. Gradually stir the flour into the liquid mixture until the dough is thoroughly mixed. The dough will now be sticky.
3. Put the dough on a floured table top. Then knead, adding more whole wheat flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Then turn the dough to oil all sides. Cover with a dry towel, and then let stand until it has doubled in size (about 1 hour).
5. Punch down the dough and then divide into 4 equal portions. Shape each one into a ball. Lightly rub each one, and then put them back into the large bowl. Then cover with the towel for 20 minutes.
6. Roll each portion into an oval (6"x12", 15x30cm). Place on ungreased baking sheets. Using the side of your thumb, make lengthwise ridges 1" apart on each. Then brush each one with milk and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over top. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
7. Bake at 325F (160C) until golden brown (20 to 30 minutes).
