Time 2h20m

Yield 2 (17- by 11-inch) loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/3 cup vegetable shortening, at room temperature (preferably trans-fat-free)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons beaten eggs (from 1 large egg)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus additional for greasing
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons sunflower seeds, shelled
1/4 cup grated asiago cheese (3/4 oz)

Steps:

  • Mix together flours, shortening, salt, and sugar in mixer using dough hook attachment at medium speed until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add water and egg and mix 5 minutes (dough will be very sticky). Scrape down side of bowl and cover with plastic wrap, then let stand at warm room temperature at least 1 and up to 4 hours.
  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Stir together butter (2 tablespoons) and garlic. Lightly brush baking pans with additional melted butter.
  • Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and dust generously with flour, then divide dough into 2 equal portions. Roll out 1 portion of dough with a lightly floured rolling pin into a roughly 10- by 7-inch rectangle. (Dough will be very soft.) Dust backs of your hands with flour and slide them under dough. Working over 1 of the baking pans, gently stretch dough as evenly as possible to fit into pan. Pull sides and corners of dough to cover bottom of pan evenly. (Sides of dough may be slightly thicker than center.) Repair any holes in dough by pinching and pressing dough together. Repeat with second piece of dough and other baking pan.
  • Brush surface of dough lightly with garlic butter (be careful not to tear the dough), then sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds, lightly pressing to help them adhere. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake, switching position of baking pans in oven and rotating them 180 degrees halfway through baking, until golden, 25 to 35 minutes total.
  • Cool lavash in pans on racks, about 15 minutes. (Lavash will crisp as it cools.) Break into pieces to serve.

SABZI POLO (PERSIAN HERBED RICE)



Sabzi Polo (Persian Herbed Rice) image

The star of this herb-flecked Persian-style rice recipe, by the actor and food blogger Naz Deravian, is the lavash tahdig - a crisp, buttery layer of toasted lavash flatbread at the bottom of the pot. Break it into pieces and use it to garnish the platter of rice, making sure everyone gets a piece. The rice itself is highly fragrant, scented with dill, mint and whatever other soft herbs you can get, along with heady saffron. You need to find thin flatbread to make this; the kind used for wraps is a good bet. It will take some time to clean all the herbs, but don't worry about taking off each leaf. Using tender stems and sprigs is perfectly fine.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups white basmati rice
Kosher salt, as needed
10 cups packed mixed soft herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, dill, chives, tarragon and ramp greens
1 1/2 cups packed mint leaves
1/2 cup packed basil leaves (preferably lemon basil)
5 stems of fresh fenugreek, leaves only (optional)
8 tablespoons butter or ghee, more if needed
1 teaspoon grapeseed or olive oil
1/4 teaspoon saffron, plus a small pinch, ground with a mortar and pestle
2 to 4 pieces thin lavash or other flatbread
2 tablespoons dried dill
2 stalks spring garlic (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large strainer, rinse the rice until the water runs clear, mixing it with your fingers as you rinse. Put the rinsed rice in a bowl and add 2 cups cold water and a handful of kosher salt (about 1/4 cup). Let sit for at least 1 hour.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine herbs. Process, in batches if necessary, until coarsely chopped. (You should have about 6 cups; set aside 3/4 cup of the chopped herbs to use as garnish.)
  • In a large pot bring 12 cups water and another handful salt (about 1/4 cup) to a boil. Drain rice and add to pot. Stir once very gently; return to a boil and cook until the grains are about halfway cooked (tender but with a firm spine), 3 to 5 minutes, skimming off any foam. Drain rice, give it a quick rinse with cold water, and spread it out on a platter or rimmed baking sheet until needed.
  • In a medium bowl or pot, melt 4 tablespoons butter; reserve.
  • In a large nonstick skillet with a cover, or shallow pot over low heat, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter and add grapeseed oil. Swirl the pan to make sure the melted butter covers the entire surface and sides of your skillet. If not, add more butter.
  • Add a small pinch saffron and large pinch salt to the butter and swirl around. Place lavash so it covers the bottom and halfway up the sides of the skillet in a single layer, overlapping only slightly where needed. (You can tear the lavash into pieces.)
  • Sprinkle a third of the rice over the lavash. If rice is clumpy, break apart with your fingers. Top with half of the chopped herbs. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon dried dill over fresh herbs. Repeat with another layer each of rice, herbs and dried dill, mounding layers in a pyramid-like shape. Top with final third of rice, and place spring garlic, if using, around the edges of the skillet.
  • Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke several holes in the rice to allow the steam to escape. Pour reserved melted butter and 2 tablespoons hot water over rice. Cover and raise heat to medium. Cook for 10 minutes, or until steam is visible around the edges of the lid. (Don't go anywhere! The tahdig can burn very quickly.)
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Lift lid and cover skillet with a clean kitchen towel. Return lid to skillet and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to very low. If you have a heat diffuser, place it under the skillet and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, or until rice is done and tahdig is golden brown. If you don't have a diffuser, watch the pot carefully so the tahdig doesn't burn. If you smell burning, turn the heat off and let the pot sit off the heat until rice is done.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine 1/4 teaspoon saffron and 1 tablespoon hot water. When rice is done, set aside spring garlic; reserve. Gently transfer 1 cup rice to the saffron mixture, toss to color the rice yellow, and set aside.
  • Taste rice for doneness. If needed, gently stir in more salt.
  • To serve, spoon half of the green herb rice onto a serving platter, taking care to not disturb the tahdig at the bottom of the skillet. Add half the reserved fresh herbs. Repeat the layers of rice and herbs. Top with saffron rice and garnish with spring garlic. Lift out the tahdig, break into pieces and serve on the side.

Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 2 10-inch Lavash

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ounces refrigerated bread dough (see Recicpe #387518 or No-Knead Flatbreads - Master Recipe (Pizza, Naan, Focaccia))
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Refer to Recipe #309834 or Recipe #387518 for instructions to prepare the dough:.
  • To prepare Lavash:.
  • Make a paste with cornstarch and water in a small bowl (adding more water if necessary).
  • Twenty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 450 degrees with a baking stone. Placing one shelf in the center of the oven and the other shelf below.
  • Place an empty broiler pan (I use my cast iron skillet) on the lower shellf.
  • Just before baking, dust a pizza peel with flour.
  • With wet hands, pull up one end of the refrigerated dough (Recipe #309834 or Recipe #387518 ). Using a serrated knife, cut off a 1/2-pound, or orange-size, piece of dough.
  • (Note: This should be enough to make two lavash, depending on the thickness you roll out the dough. If you prefer your lavash to be very thin then split the dough before proceeding.).
  • Hold the mass of dough in your hands; if it sticks, add a little flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hand.
  • Gently stretch the surface of the dough on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go. Most of the dusting flour will fall off.
  • The dough ball should be smooth and cohesive and take no more than 30 to 60 seconds to shape.
  • Place the dough on a flour-dusted pizza peel and shape into a flat round, using your hands and a rolling pin.
  • Continue rolling out until you reach a uniform thickness of 1/16 to 1/8 inch.
  • Brush the top surface with the cornstarch wash and sprinkle the sesame seeds.
  • Prick the surface all over with a fork to allow steam to escape, this will help prevent puffing.
  • Immediately slide the lavash directly on the hot stone.
  • Pour 1 cup of hot tap water into the broiler tray and quickly close the oven door.
  • For a slightly chewy version, bake for about 5 minutes or until lighlly browned.
  • For a crisper cracker bread, bake until deep brown and crispy, approximately 7 minutes.
  • Unlike hard-crusted bread, lavash, once cooled, can be stored in a plastic bag or an airtight containeerstorage.
  • For another use for The Master Recipe, see Recipe #310219.

PERSIAN-STYLE LAVASH



Persian-Style Lavash image

This recipe is originally from the ladies at My Persian Feast, http://www.mypersianfeast.com/2013/03/lavash.html, with some of my changes. It's a great basic recipe that can be improved to suit individual tastes.

Categories     Breads

Time 2h10m

Yield 6-8 medium lavash, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups plain flour (use extra flour for kneading and rolling)
1 teaspoon dried yeast or 1 (7 g) envelope dried yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 -1 1/2 cup warm water (30C, use only as much as needed to get a sticky dough)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Dissolve dried yeast with the sugar in 1/2 cup of the warm water.
  • Place flour and salt in a bowl and mix well.
  • When the yeast is foamy, make a well in the flour and stir in the yeast.
  • Mix with a large spoon.
  • Gradually, add as much water as needed until the dough comes together and is a little sticky.
  • Cover and set aside.
  • Set in a warm place if you are making this in winter.
  • Once the dough doubles (1hr is a good rule of the thumb), remove the cover and punch it a few times.
  • Take it out on a clean, flour covered surface and and knead lightly for 2 minutes.
  • Spread part of the olive oil on the bowl and use the rest to lighly coat the dough.
  • Place the dough back into the bowl for 10 minutes, then punch down again.
  • Take a small ball (size of an egg) of dough and place it on flour covered surface.
  • Heat a flat skillet on the stove or alternatively heat a large fry pan.
  • Sprinkle a little flour over the dough and roll with a rolling pin until it is about 2mm thick.
  • Make sure not to over-roll or over-knead, as this will make the bread chewier.
  • Place the rolled dough on a hot skillet or fry pan.
  • Once fully puffed, turn it over.
  • Place cooked lavash on cake racks to cool.
  • Better if eaten immediately, also makes a nice thin pizza crust.
