Saffron Flat Bread

 

Here we have a centuries old delicious Iranian Pita bread recipe from Gonabad, Iran, for you. There it is still prepared traditionally in a so called Tandoor oven. A Tandoor is a cylindrical stone oven, heated by fire from the bottom. One sticks the dough around the inner stone wall until it is done. But also in common ovens a great result can be achieved. Already the smell of the fresh baked bread and its spices will convince you!
