Description

Barbari is a thick, oval-shaped Iranian bread known for its golden, slightly crispy crust and soft interior. The dough is made from wheat flour, yeast, water, and salt, and it is brushed with a special glaze made from flour and water before baking. This glaze creates the signature glossy crust. Traditionally, Barbari is scored with deep ridges before baking and is often topped with sesame or nigella seeds. It is commonly eaten for breakfast with cheese and jam.
