This flat, chewy bread is baked in many countries of the Middle East, using a drum-shaped oven or tanoor.

Afghan bread is characterised by the indents made by the baker’s fingers. Sometimes the bread is baked on hot pebbles, as in the Persian sangak, and the same effect is achieved. This bread is always best hot from the oven.
