- The flat breads of Iran; secretly the world's best!
There are four main types: Sangak, Barbari, Taftoon and Lavash.
The "king" of Iranian breads, sesame sprinkled Sangak
From Two types of flat breads of Iran (Sangak and Barbari):
"With the strong culture associated with bread in the region, we were told that similar breads were eaten centuries back by the Persian rulers."
"Flat breads are one of the oldest known prepared foods. Over the centuries, making bread became an art."
"The oven is a dome shaped hole with a surface of pebbles and stones. That is where the name Sangak comes from: sang means stone, so it is literally Stone Bread. The oven is heated with wood or coal. Watching this process reminded me of the history lesson the birth of flat breads: Nearly 12,000 years ago, in Neolithic times, coarsely crushed grain mixed with water was laid on heated stones, and baked in hot ashes."
Archaeological finds in Godin Tepe of Iran indicates that barley and wheat were cultivated for bread making at that location around 3500 B.C.
