Sangak Bread

Baking fresh every hour in our hearthstone oven is our delicious Sangak, a seeded flatbread prepared in the ancient Persian manner. Our Sangak is completely natural and unprocessed, made without chemicals, additives or preservatives. Sangak takes its name from the word stone (sang), literally “stone bread”. The pebbly appearance comes from the use of stones in the baking oven, and has an earthy, burning smell when it comes from the oven. The oven is fueled by wood or coal, and stretched by experienced hands throughout the day.

Sangak is made with rich, stone-milled wheat flour and a starter that comes from the previous day’s batch. This special fermenting process replaces the use of yeast or baking powder. The most traditional bread in Iran, Sangak is formed into loaves over a foot long, enough to feed the entire family. Eaten for centuries hot from the Sangaki ovens all over the Persian Empire, it is said that the shape of the Sangak resembles a woman’s chador, the scarf that all women in Iran wear by law.

This traditional long bread is made with little tiny stones in a hot, deep oven. That is where the name Sangak comes from: sang means stone, so it is literally Stone Bread. It is in between Barbari and Lavash in thickness and has a heavier consistency. It is often used on the Sofreh Aghd (Persian Wedding ceremony) and is decorated elaborately to congratulate the couple. It is also served for special occations on the Sofreh such as New Years Eve (Noruz).
