How to make Noon Taftoon

Why cooks start here

Noon Taftoon is cooked the way tandoor cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a persian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Noon Taftoon is a staple of Persian households, its roots tracing back to the traditional tandoor ovens of Iran. This home version distills the essence of family cooking, where ingredients are measured by feel and intuition. It's a bread that finds its place at any meal, whether accompanying stews or simply enjoyed on its own. The bread should emerge soft yet sturdy, with a hint of cardamom and a touch of saltiness that elevates its flavor. The generous use of fat ensures a tender crumb, making each bite a satisfying experience. Noon Taftoon is best when shared, its warmth and aroma inviting everyone to the table.
