Iranian Flatbread image

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!

Categories     Breads

Time 16m

Yield 2 slabs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

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.

This flatbread is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I always have some flour and yogurt in my pantry, so I can make this flatbread whenever I need a quick and easy meal.

This flatbread is so versatile. You can top it with anything you like. I've tried it with cheese, vegetables, and even fruit.

I love that this flatbread is made with whole wheat flour. It's a healthier option than traditional white flour flatbreads.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my flatbread didn't turn out as fluffy as I hoped. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This flatbread was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might add a little more oil or butter next time.

This flatbread was delicious! It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The flavor was perfect, with a hint of saltiness and a slight tang. I will definitely be making this again.
