Typical Persian Bread and Persian Tea
Bread is an important part of an Iranian breakfast. Persian bread is always a part of Iranian breakfast dishes, from tiny bits with butter or cheese to the heaviest meaty breakfasts.
Every morning, bread (naan) is usually purchased. The best way to eat a Persian breakfast is with hot bread straight from the baker's oven. Bakeries (nanvaii) can be found on practically every street corner in Iran. Each nanvaii is usually specialised in making a single sort of bread, with a different method of baking depending on the type of bread they sell.
On a Persian morning, a cup of freshly made Persian tea (chai) is almost mandatory. Almost all of the breakfasts described below include tea. Iranians prefer their breakfast tea to be sweet and devoid of milk.
