Traditional Taftoon Bread

Taftoon Bread is a fragrant, leavened Persian flatbread known for its slightly thicker texture and characteristic dimpled surface. Traditionally baked against the walls of a clay tandoor oven, it has a delightful chew and a subtly toasted aroma. Often seasoned with a sprinkle of nigella or sesame seeds, Taftoon is a versatile staple that bridges the gap between the thinness of Lavash and the thickness of Barbari. It is particularly prized as a breakfast bread when paired with butter and honey, or as a sturdy companion for grilled kebabs and rich stews, where its texture is perfect for soaking up savory juices.
