How this kind of dish is made

The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.

  1. Mix the flour and dry ingredients.

  2. Add liquid gradually and knead.

  3. Rest and shape the dough.

  4. Cook using the registered traditional method (saj, tandoor, griddle, or oven).

  5. Cool on a rack or clean cloth.

Cook's notes

Add water gradually because flour absorption varies; fully preheat the baking surface so the bread cooks before drying out.

Background

This item is part of Kurdish food heritage, connected with mountain life, saj cooking, dairy, grains, and seasonal plants.
