Beginner bread recipe

Making homemade bread can be intimidating. Why? Because a typical bread recipe has many steps, with kneading the dough to rising and punching down the bread dough. Is there an easy beginner bread recipe out there?

Iranian bread

I had mentioned to this Persian man, that I wish I could make bread. He suggested I look into an Iranian bread recipe because they were much more simpler to make.  As I researched, I found one iranian bread that stood out: barbari bread.

Easy homemade bread

I have always used my bread maker dough cycle for making yeast bread. One it so much quicker and it poofs dough nicely. This time I wanted to make an easy homemade bread without my bread maker. This Persian bread really is a great easy homemade bread. I did not have to use the breadmaker for it!

When this Persian bread was done baking, I discovered it is wonderful spongy bread. Barbari bread soaks up the broth in soup no nicely. This Iranian bread is great to serve with soup because of that! Simply put, I love this barbari bread recipe and I think you will too.

Prep Time 2 hours
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • cornmeal
  • poppy seeds or sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2/3 cup water

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in 1/2 c water, let sit a few minutes to proof (foam).
  2. Mix bread flour, baking powder and salt together. Make a well in the flour, and slowly incorporate the yeast mixture, and then the remaining 1 cup of water.
  3. Knead 15 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide dough into 2 round pieces.
  5. Sprinkle a large baking sheet with cornmeal, transfer the dough to it. Lightly cover and place in a warm place until doubled in bulk (1.5 hours).
  6. Meanwhile, combine the flour, water, and baking soda together. Bring to a boil, let cool.  This is a glaze and brush lightly over the dough. 
  7. Dip your fingers into the remaining glaze, and punch the dough down with the edges of your hands to form several long parallel ridges along the dough.
  8. Brush the dough with the glaze again, sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  9. Carefully stretch the dough lengthwise until it is about 1/4-1/2" thick.
  10. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until golden. Take out the oven, let it cool and ENJOY!

Oh this bread looks fantastic. For me making bread is therapy is reward is an overall such a joyful experience every single time with no fail. I’ve never heard of Barbari bread before but I will definitely give it a go as truthfully I’m rarely buying bread and for the past few years I’m just making my own almost 100% of the time. It’s a wonderful recipe and thank you so much for sharing it Deanna ??
