作法
- 酵母與糖溶於 100 毫升溫水中，靜置 10 分鐘至起泡。
- 麵粉與鹽於大碗中混合。分次加入起泡酵母液、油與剩餘溫水，揉 8 分鐘成柔軟略黏的麵團。
- 蓋好放於溫暖處發酵 60 分鐘至兩倍大。
- 排氣後分為 6 份。每份擀成長條形，長 25 公分、寬 10 公分。阿富汗饢餅刻意做成細長略尖的形狀。
- 在表面用手指壓出裝飾性的條紋（這是阿富汗饢餅傳統；用手指壓出 3 至 4 道平行凹槽）。輕輕刷上水，撒上白芝麻與黑種草籽。
- 烤箱以最大火力預熱（260°C 以上），內放厚重烤盤石或鋼板。每批烘烤 8 分鐘—餅應膨脹，表面呈深金黃並有更深色的斑塊。烤好疊放並蓋上布巾保溫。搭配奶油或任何阿富汗料理享用。

文化背景
阿富汗饢餅是阿富汗的招牌麵包—在喀布爾、赫拉特、馬扎里沙里夫以及鄉村家家戶戶的每一餐都不可或缺。它與印巴饢餅明顯不同：更長、更細尖、油脂較少，以平行手指凹槽與芝麻、黑種草籽撒料為特色。在阿富汗，烘麵包是社區大事；許多街區設有麵包店（Nanwaee），家庭可帶麵團去用社區的泥窯烤。這道食物是阿富汗飲食的根基；其他料理都是配著饢餅吃的。
