Taftan or taftoon is a leavened bread hailed from Persia, baked in a clay oven.
I discover this flatbread while watching a cookery show on television, I did some research. found out that it could be made without yeast with just water. milk or yogurt salt and whole wheat flour. My Taftan Bread recipe adapted from various sources use yeast, milk and oil.
The dough was really sticky and hard to shape. You can add some flour by a tablespoon but not too much otherwise it turns really hard.
On a floured board, roll out each ball into a circle. thin it out so the edges are thicker. Prick the dough with fork leaving the sides.
I can't believe how much better this Taftan Bread tastes than takeaway flatbread, even my hubby wanted more!.
