About Afghan bread

Afghan bread, or "naan-e-Afghani," is a traditional staple from Afghan cuisine. Made primarily from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, its dough is rolled into oblong or circular shapes and baked in a tandoor oven, giving it a soft interior and lightly charred, crisp exterior. This bread is often enjoyed alongside stews, kabobs, or as a base for scooping food. Nutritionally, Afghan bread provides a source of carbohydrates for energy and small amounts of protein. When made from whole wheat flour, it offers higher fiber content, which supports digestion and sustained energy. However, traditional recipes may lack significant vitamins or minerals and can contribute to excessive calorie intake if eaten in large quantities or paired with high-fat spreads. For a healthier option, homemade versions with added whole grains or seeds can increase its nutrient density while preserving its authentic flavor.
