Making Traditional Barbari Bread in a Local Bakery

Barbari bread is one of the oldest and most beloved traditional breads in Iran.
Baked fresh every morning, this long, golden flatbread has been a daily staple for generations especially for breakfast, shared with family, tea, cheese, or simple local dishes.

The history of Barbari bread goes back to the Qajar kings era, when it was first introduced by the Hazaras (known historically as “Barbarian” people). Over time, it became one of the most popular breads in Iranian bakeries, loved for its crispy crust, soft interior, and distinctive ridged shape.

In this video, we step inside a local bakery to document the traditional process of making Barbari bread from preparing the dough and stretching it by hand, to brushing it with glaze and baking it in a stone oven.
There are no shortcuts here, just experience, repetition, and skills passed down through years of daily work.

This is not just about bread.
It’s about tradition, routine, and the quiet rhythm of everyday life in local neighborhoods. The sounds of the bakery, the heat of the oven, and the early morning atmosphere all tell a story that words alone can’t fully explain.

If you enjoy traditional bread, street food documentaries, local bakeries, and authentic food culture, this is a small window into a world that still lives beyond modern kitchens.
