Barbari Bread

About this Recipe:

LidaLida: Perhaps the most famous and widely used bread in Iran, Barbari is a part of Iranian culture. A piece of Barbari with some feta cheese and a cup of tea form the traditional breakfast in Iran. The secret behind the golden color of Barbari and its unique smell is in the small amount of backing soda mixed with some water and used to brush Barbari before backing. This mix is called Romal in Iran which is specified as the sauce here.
