Afghan Sweet Bread (Roht) image

Although roht is technically a sweet bread, in my family it is made more like a cookie. This is my aunt's recipe, which is very simple and easy. Enjoy with tea.

Time 40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon nigella seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease one 11x13-inch rectangular baking dish.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Whisk eggs together in a small bowl. Discard 1/4 of the egg mixture. Combine remaining egg mixture, butter, and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture slowly. Beat briefly on low speed just until dough comes together.
  • Transfer dough to the baking dish. Dust your hands with flour and pat dough into an even layer about 3/4-inch thick. Prick dough in several places with a fork and sprinkle the nigella seeds evenly on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan; cut roht into squares while still warm. Let cool.

I've been looking for a good Roht recipe and this one is perfect! The bread is soft and fluffy, and the syrup is just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

Not a fan of the cardamom flavor. Otherwise, the bread was well-made.

The Roht came out dense and a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked it. Will try again with a reduced baking time.

This Afghan Sweet Bread (Roht) was a delightful treat! The combination of cardamom, sugar syrup, and nuts made for a perfectly balanced flavor profile. The bread itself was soft and fluffy, with a delicate crumb. My family loved it!
