Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups warm water
1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoons salt, or to taste
¼ cup corn oil
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
  • Place flour in a large bowl, and stir in salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the corn oil and yeast mixture. Add the remaining water in small amounts until you have a soft moist dough that can be handled. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead for at least 5 minutes. Return to the bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Deflate the risen dough, and divide into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball with a rolling pin so it is oval shaped, about 6 inches long, and 1/2 inch thick. Use a fork or dull knife to draw three lines on the top of each loaf. Place the loaves on a baking sheet. Mix together the egg and remaining tablespoon of water; brush the tops of the loaves with the mixture. Sprinkle caraway seeds over the tops, if using.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the loaves are shiny and golden brown.

Time 35m

Yield 8 noni

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups water, warm
1/4 ounce dry yeast (7 grams )
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup corn oil
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon black cumin seeds or 1 tablespoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • Mix 1/2 cup of the warm water, yeast and sugar together and let proof for 10 minutes. When froth appears, sprinkle 1/2 tsp of flour on top and let it continue to proof for 5 minutes more. The froth will rise quickly.
  • Put flour in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle salt over it. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add oil and the yeast mixture. Stir to mix and add small amounts of the water until you have produced a soft, moist dough that can be handled.
  • Knead dough well for 5 minutes. Put dough ball back in bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 1/2 hours.
  • When risen for 1 1/2 hours, punch down. Divide dough into 8 equal parts and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball into an oval shape 6 to 7 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Draw tines of a fork along the length of each noni for a decorative design, if desired.
  • Mix egg yolk and 1 T water, paint each noni with this mixture. Sprinkle cumin seeds or caraway seeds on top of each noni (black cumin seeds are traditional but caraway may be substituted). Put on ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Prep time does not include rising time.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best possible flavor and texture for your Afghan bread.
  • Make sure your yeast is active before using it. If you're not sure if it's active, you can test it by adding a teaspoon of sugar to a cup of warm water and then adding the yeast. If the yeast starts to foam after a few minutes, it's active and ready to use.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the bread stronger and chewier.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help to create a light and airy texture in the bread.
  • Bake the bread in a hot oven until it is golden brown. This will give the bread a crispy crust and a chewy interior.

Conclusion:

Noni Afghan bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a great source of carbohydrates and fiber, and it can also be a good source of protein if you add nuts or seeds to the dough. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, noni Afghan bread is a recipe that you should definitely try.
