Kelaneh (bread)

Kelaneh (کەلانە) is known primarily for being a type of bread, but the term encompasses a full meal that is particular to Kurdistan. In spring, the bread is filled with wheat flour and a kind of honeysuckle called ivy, while in other seasons onions are the filling. Traditionally this flatbread is filled with scallion (or chives or wild garlic) and made them a smaller size to fit in a frying pan on a home stove compared to the convex metal griddle over an open fire (saj)
