Instructions
- 1First a quick note about tandoori bread (or tandoori anything, really). The name comes from the clay oven, or "tandoor" that it is traditionally cooked in, and you will never be able to duplicate the flavor of any tandoori recipe without one of those ovens, no matter how hard you try. Now, a tandoor oven is actually a part of my dream kitchen (I love naan bread and tandoori chicken) but I don't have one in my current kitchen, so this bread just goes in a plain oven, which makes it not very authentic. However, this is how an Azerbaijani stranded in the US would make a tandoori bread, so I guess I don't feel too bad about including it in my meal.

Chef tips
To achieve that signature crispy crust and charred finish of Tandir bread in a home oven, preheat your baking sheet to the highest temperature and carefully place the dough directly onto the hot surface. You can upgrade this bread by sprinkling sesame or nigella seeds on top before baking. Serve it warm with salty cheese, honey, or homemade dips that the kids will love to dunk into.
