That sounds wonderful! Tandır bread and halva are both delicious choices for Iftar. Here are some special recipes you might consider:
Tandır Bread Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 kg flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp dry yeast
Warm water (as needed)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast.
Gradually add warm water and knead until you have a smooth dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Preheat the tandır (or oven) to a high temperature.
Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into round discs.
Place the discs on the tandır (or in the oven) and bake until they are golden brown and puffed up.
Halva Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup semolina
1/2 cup ghee or butter
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee or butter over medium heat.
Add the semolina and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma.
In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the semolina mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Stir in the chopped nuts, if using.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
These recipes are sure to be a hit at your Iftar gatherings!
