Barbari Flat Bread Recipe

Another great tasting flat bread recipe. This time from Iranian traditional bread: Barbari.

One of my favorites, I’d say most Armenian bakeries bake Barbari and it’s so delicious that I decided to give it a try and make the homemade version.

Barbari has a slight resemblance with Armenian Matnakash




But it’s so much simpler in making and tastes quite different due to the fact that it’s got sesame seeds which gives the bread a specific taste and look.

Recipe is pretty basic and there’s no way to fail it:)

Happy baking!

  1. I have made this recipe at least 5 times now, it is delicious. This flexible dough is wonderful on it’s own, but I’ve also used it topped with zaatar, sauteed onions with thyme, and as a pizza dough. I always get compliments when I make it and am taking it to a potluck dinner at the end of the month.

  2. Hi Heghineh, I’m following you from quite few months. Finally I got to try out this bread and I’m so happy that it turned out so good. I’m a great fan of middle eastern breads and always wanted to try them at home. Thanks for sharing wonderful recipes along with videos. You are indeed a great cook and mother. I like the way your videos are filmed- very natural. Keep sharing more bread recipes. Can’t wait to see you zaatar bread 🙂 have a great day.

    • Hello,

    • Hi there,
      Sorry to hear you’re having problems with this bread. You can definitely add extra flour , but be sure to add only small addition, to prevent the bread from being too stiff , all flours are different and sometimes you need to adjust the quantity and not go by the exact recipe
      Let me know if any questions
      Good luck!
