Pishme
Description
Pishme are the most delicious when fresh, so prepare them in small quantities. However, if you have a large group, you'll need to make more—keep in mind they get eaten up quickly. Actually, they fry very fast—literally in a matter of seconds. The only important thing is to let the dough rest thoroughly; otherwise, you'll end up with rhombus-shaped flatbreads instead of crispy pishme.
