Bread (Flat) - Nan e Taftoon Bread - Iran 🇮🇷

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

1 2/3 Cup All Purpose Flour

1/4 Tsp Salt (as you prefer)
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

Heat a cup of water to 105º - 115º F (40º - 46º C). Pour the hot water into a large bowl. Add yeast, Sugar, salt and vegetable oil and stir thoroughly. Add the flour gradually as you stir and knead. Add more flour if needed. Knead for 7 to 10 minutes on a floured working surface. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise for 40 minutes. Preheat a griddle over medium to high heat. Take a fist full of the dough and roll out on a floured surface using a rolling pin. Place the bread over the griddle and sprinkle with nigella seeds and sesame seeds. Flip the bread.
