BARBARI BREAD Barbari or Baberi means our fathers, "of or related to Barbars" in Persian language.

Barbars are a group of people living near eastern borders of Iran. This bread was baked by the Barbar (Hazara) people and was brought to Tehran, becoming popular during the Qajar period. In Iran, the Hazaras were known as Barbari ("barbarian," "foreign," "uncivilized"), which they resented.

The bread is usually between 70cm to 80cm long, and 25cm to 30cm wide. It is the most common style baked in Iran. It is served in many restaurants with Lighvan cheese, of ewe's milk, similar to feta cheese.
