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.

Hot Tips

When making a pot of tea, always warm the teapot first, by adding hot water to the teapot. When the pot is warm, discard the water and add the tea leaves. The general rule is one teaspoon of tea for each guest and one for the pot.
