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. Knead the dough, cover it, and let it rest/proof for about 1 hour.

  2. Combine the flour and dry ingredients; gradually add the listed liquid until a dough forms.

  3. Knead until reasonably smooth and elastic.

  4. Divide and shape the dough to the traditional thickness and form.

  5. Bake in a hot tandoor or oven until cooked and lightly browned.

  6. Cool on a clean cloth or rack and serve fresh.

Cook's notes

Add water gradually because different flours absorb differently; keep the dough appropriately soft or moist for the bread style. The baking surface or oven should be fully preheated.

Background

This item sits within West Azerbaijan's food traditions, reflecting the province's ethnic and linguistic diversity and its use of grains, dairy products, legumes, and orchard produce.
