🔸 bread with claws; The narrative of the hands of the nomadic women of North Khorasan

Nastern Aliabadi - IRNA reporter

Panjaksh bread is not just a combination of flour, water and fire; This is the story of the hands that shaped the dough with their nails for years next to the wood ovens and passed on from generation to generation a part of the food culture, the lifestyle and the rural and nomadic memories.

What sets panjaksh apart from many traditional breads is the process where the main tool is the human hand.

🔹 Cooking the panjakash started when the wheat arrived at the mill and after turning it into flour, the dough was prepared; The way shows that bread in the life of the rural communities was not just a purchased ready-made food, but was considered part of the production chain and the breadwinner of the household.
