Persian Flat Bread (Barbari) image

Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Delicious bread, that is the everyday bread in Iran and baked scattered against the walls of charcoal ovensgrills . Used to scoop up main dishes and delicious spreads. I like it with Baba Ganoush, cheeses, vegetables and traditional vegetarian middle eastern dishes. I like to keep it vegan, but you can sub the amount of olive oil with butter or ghee. The longer you let the dough rest, the better the taste, texture and crispness. I let mine rest in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

I was a bit skeptical about making this bread because I'm not a fan of sesame seeds. But I was pleasantly surprised! The sesame seeds added a nice flavor and texture to the bread.
