15:57:49 GMT  There is a similar Persian bread called Nune. Here is the
recipe for  it. Makes 4 loaves.  Pour 1/4 cup of warm water into a
small bowl, and sprinkle the yeast  over it. Stir until dissolved.
Thoroughly mix the flour and cinnamon  together. Then make a well in
the centre, and put into it the  dissolved yeast, sugar, oil, and 2
cups of warm water. Gradually stir  the flour into the liquid mixture
until the dough is thoroughly  mixed. The dough will now be sticky. Put
the dough on a floured table  top. Then knead, adding more whole wheat
flour if necessary, until  the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the
dough in a large, lightly  oiled bowl. Then turn the dough to oil all
sides. Cover with a dry  towel, and then let stand until it has doubled
in size (about 1  hour). Punch down the dough and then divide into 4
equal portions.  Shape each one into a ball. Lightly rub each one, and
then put them  back into the large bowl. Then cover with the towel for
20 minutes.  Roll each portion into an oval (6"x12", 15x30cm). Place on
ungreased  baking sheets. Using the side of your thumb, make lengthwise
ridges  1" apart on each. Then brush each one with milk and sprinkle 1
tablespoon of sesame seeds over top. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
Bake at 325F (160C) until golden brown (20 to 30 minutes).
