Noni Afghani (Afghan Bread) image

Wonderful and easy bread - Afghan style. I fell in love with this at my favorite restaurant, Kabul, in Madison, WI. They have the most amazing bread ever. This is a good close approximation. Posting for my DD who also loves this one!

Time 35m

Yield 8 noni

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups water, warm
1/4 ounce dry yeast (7 grams )
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup corn oil
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon black cumin seeds or 1 tablespoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • Mix 1/2 cup of the warm water, yeast and sugar together and let proof for 10 minutes. When froth appears, sprinkle 1/2 tsp of flour on top and let it continue to proof for 5 minutes more. The froth will rise quickly.
  • Put flour in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle salt over it. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add oil and the yeast mixture. Stir to mix and add small amounts of the water until you have produced a soft, moist dough that can be handled.
  • Knead dough well for 5 minutes. Put dough ball back in bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 1/2 hours.
  • When risen for 1 1/2 hours, punch down. Divide dough into 8 equal parts and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball into an oval shape 6 to 7 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Draw tines of a fork along the length of each noni for a decorative design, if desired.
  • Mix egg yolk and 1 T water, paint each noni with this mixture. Sprinkle cumin seeds or caraway seeds on top of each noni (black cumin seeds are traditional but caraway may be substituted). Put on ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Prep time does not include rising time.

This recipe seems interesting, but I'm not sure if I have all the ingredients. I'll have to check my pantry before I can try it.

I followed the recipe carefully, but my bread didn't turn out as expected. It was a bit dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad! The bread had a nice flavor, but it was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might try a different recipe next time.
