Pakistani breads

Pakistani breads are types of flatbreads that are popular in Pakistan. They are usually made with a flour dough that is rolled out thin, then cooked on a hot flat surface or griddle. The dough is usually cooked until it is golden brown and sometimes sprinkled with sesame or poppy seeds. Some popular Pakistani breads include naan, chapati, and paratha. Naan is a soft, leavened (meaning it rises because of a special ingredient added) flatbread that is cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor. Chapati is a thin flatbread that is cooked on a hot surface and sometimes filled with vegetables. Paratha is a layered flatbread that is cooked on a hot surface, brushed with butter or ghee, and sometimes filled with vegetables.
