Bakarkhani

Bakarkhani is a thick, layered flatbread baked against the walls of a tandoor until it turns crisp and slightly salty or sweet. It has been tied to Old Dhaka for centuries and is still made by hand in tiny bakeries along Lalbagh and Chawkbazar lanes. Locals dunk it in milk tea or eat it with kebab and halua. Watching the bakers slap dough into the oven is half the pleasure.
