Xinjiang Nang (Uyghur Flatbread)
Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region — dating back to Silk Road civilisation, over 2,000 years
Nang: the daily bread of Xinjiang's Uyghur people, baked in a tandoor oven (the nang pit/tannur). The dough is enriched with oil, onion, sesame seeds, and salt, pressed into a disc with a spiked pattern (from a nang stamp), and slapped onto the inner wall of the clay oven. Forms the foundation of all Xinjiang cuisine.
