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

Avoid adding unnecessary extra flour while shaping because a dry dough produces a tougher bread. Bake until the center is cooked without letting the crust become excessively dry.

Background

This item is associated with East Azerbaijani cuisine, where dough-based foods, kufteh, ash, dairy products, meat, and mountain herbs have an important place.
