Sangak bread is a traditional Iranian flatbread made from whole wheat flour, water, salt, and sometimes a natural leavening agent. This unique bread is baked on a bed of small, hot pebbles, giving it an irregular, crispy texture on one side. Originating in Persian cuisine, Sangak bread is highly valued for its rich flavor and hearty, wholesome qualities. Nutritionally, it is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals due to its use of whole grains. The fermentation process often used during its preparation can also improve digestion and nutrient absorption. However, like most breads, moderation is key as it may contribute to calorie intake, especially when paired with heavy toppings. Sangak’s simple ingredients and absence of added sugars or fats make it a healthier alternative to many commercially processed breads, aligning well with balanced diets.
