Dear Mahsati, so sorry your bread didn’t turn out the way you wanted. I am thinking what might have caused the problem. Here’s what comes to my mind.

1. Did the dough rise nicely? It really has to rise before it goes in the oven.

2. I mentioned in the recipe that the bread needs to bake for about 25 minutes or until it is golden on top. So, maybe 25 minutes was not enough for your bread and you took it out too early. Each oven is different so times vary.

3. Also make sure the bread is on the middle rack of the oven. If nothing else works and you still have a crust on the bottom and nothing on top, bake the bread on top rack for about 5 minutes or until it is golden on top. It should work.

3. This bread is soft inside but slightly crunchy outside. It is more on a flat side than pluffy.

I don’t know if these answers help or not. Hope they do. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Anything I missed to address? So sorry again. Hope it comes out nicely the next time you bake it!

Dear Farida Hanim,

Finally today, I made your tandoori bread! However, I realized that I had only 2 cups of flour and no eggs, so I used 1 cup of wheat flour and yogurt for brushing. It came out really good, and Gorkem liked it, too :P. Also, your tandoori bread reminds me of special bread called pide, which is only baked during Ramadan month in Turkey and was the best thing I remember from my childhood Ramadans in Istanbul.

Thanks again for this recipe,

Asli
