Nan-e barbari is an Iranian wheat-based, leavened flatbread. It is usually formed into a long oval shape.
Before it is baked in traditional tandoor ovens, the bread is usually sprinkled with poppy, nigella, or sesame seeds.
This crispy bread is a breakfast staple in Iran; it is best served freshly prepared and accompanied by creamy spreads, cheese, and a variety of fresh vegetables.
