Notes

Uniqop’s advice:

Make a mixture of yolk, baking soda, and a pinch of saffron and brush the top of the bread with it; for a better appearance and taste.
After mixing yeast, let it rest for 5 minutes to help yeast perform better.
For a Persian bakery like Barbari, you need to use baking soda.
For more nutrition, you can add wheat bran grind along with the flour.
