Afghani Bread


My obsession with world breads continues! It's amazing that most of them use the same ingredients, but textures, shapes and tastes are so different.

Ingredients:
3 cups flour (unbleached preferable)
1 1/3 cups water
1 1/5 teas salt
1 teas yeast
Nigella seeds
Method:
Put all ingredients in a bowl, and mix with a wooden spoon (until incorporated). Turn over on floured surface and cover to rest (45 minutes). Preheat oven to 200-220*C. Oil baking pan (like pizza pan) and quickly transfer dough onto it. Be careful, dough is very heavy/wet. Stretch the dough and press middle with your (oiled) fingers, or cut dough in a few places and lightly stretch (pic 2). Sprinkle with nigella seeds and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
Perfect to use with Dukkah.


Avganistanski hljeb/kruh

Potrebno:
3 solje brasna
1,3 solje vode
1,5 kasicice sol1 kasicica suhog kvasca
Nigella sjeme (eh sad,...negdje kazu da je to crno sezamovo sjeme, Turci ga zovu crni kim, a negdje se govori o sjemenu luka (Stari Bosanski naziv 'Čukurek / Čurekot')
Nacin:
Umijesite tijesto od navedenih sastojaka; veoma je tesko i ljepljivo! Stavite na pobrasnjenu povrsinu i ostavite 45 minuta na toplom.
Zagrijte rernu na 200-220*C. Nauljite tepsiju i nadoslo tijesto prenesite na nju. Malo razvucite tijesto, i pritisnite na vise mijesta prstima, ili ga  nasjecite  i lagano razvucite. Pospite crnim sjemenkama i pecite 10-15 minuta. Perfektno da posluzite sa
Dukkah.

  2. jako lijepo izgleda, sigurna sam da je kruh odličan iako ne znam za nigella sjeme. Baš ću ga probati potražiti i isprobati krušćić.

  3. Hello through time. Just wanted to comment on how well the bread turned out. Although mine was a bit too crusty, and I used poppy seeds instead of Caraway, it was absolutely wonderful. I think next time I will try baking at a lower temperature to have a softer crust, so that I can soak up all the wonderful Kabuli Pallow that went with it. Thanks!
