Kazakhstan's traditional round bread, nan, is a yeasted dough pressed thin in the centre with a raised rim, baked at high heat in a tandyr or oven. Topped with nigella and sesame seeds, it's served warm as the centrepiece of a brunch spread.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Activate the yeast

10 min

Dissolve the dry yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water and let it froth for 10 minutes.

2

Knead the dough

10 min

Add the flour, salt and olive oil, then knead for 10 minutes into a soft dough.

3

Let it rise

90 min

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for 90 minutes, until doubled in size.

4

Shape and bake

18 min

Shape the dough into a round, pressing the centre thin while leaving the rim thick, then sprinkle with nigella and sesame seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 230°C for 18 minutes.

Reminder

Cover the dough with a damp cloth while it proves — a dried-out surface cracks and bakes into a tough crust. When you press the centre thin with your fingers, remember to leave the rim thick, or the bread won't puff evenly. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), sesame.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you can't find nigella seeds, sesame alone works well too; doubling the sesame keeps the look balanced.
