Afghan Bread (Slice)
$1.99

Afghan bread — known simply as naan — is a traditional, hand‑stretched flatbread baked fresh in a tandoor oven. Light, airy, and slightly crisp on the edges, it features a soft interior with the signature ridged pattern found in Afghan bakeries such as Ariana and Bakhtar in Northern Virginia. Made from simple ingredients—flour, water, yeast, and a touch of salt—this bread is crafted with time‑honored techniques that give it its unmistakable aroma and texture.

Perfect for pairing with kabobs, karahi, qorma, or enjoyed on its own, Afghan naan is a staple of every meal and a symbol of Afghan hospitality. Fresh, warm, and beautifully rustic, it brings an authentic bakery experience straight to your table.
