According to Saednews, Tiri bread is a type of flatbread similar to lavash. In the Bakhtiari language, it is called “Tiri.” This bread is very thin, with a thickness of up to 2 millimeters, a diameter of about 35 to 40 centimeters, and a round shape. Each piece weighs approximately 150 grams.
It is made from wheat flour. The name “Tiri” does not refer to its color, but rather to the tool used to flatten the dough. Traditionally, a wooden stick called “tir” or “stick” is used to roll and thin the dough, giving the bread its characteristic thin texture—similar to lavash.

Tiri bread is traditionally made in different regions using wheat flour, lukewarm water, and salt. It can be cooked in a clay oven, on a saj (metal griddle), or in a pan.
Mix wheat flour and salt in a large bowl. Sift the mixture once or twice to make it light and airy.
Gradually add lukewarm water while kneading the dough until it becomes soft, smooth, and slightly sticky but not sticky to the hands.
Knead the dough for 10–15 minutes until it becomes elastic and soft. Adjust with a little water or flour if needed.
Divide the dough into 20–24 small balls (depending on desired size).
Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth and let them rest for about 30 minutes.
Roll each dough ball on a floured surface until it becomes very thin (a few millimeters or less). The thinner it is, the softer the bread will be.
Heat a saj or heavy pan over low heat and cook each sheet of dough for a few seconds on each side until light golden spots appear.
After cooking, brush the hot bread with butter or local oil. Optionally sprinkle sesame or black seeds.
Stack the breads and wrap them in a clean cloth to prevent drying.
Tiri bread can be enjoyed with:
Fresh cheese and herbs
Radish and cucumber
Butter and honey
Date syrup or grape syrup
Traditional dishes such as Abgoosht or Kalleh Joosh
