Eggs, flour, sugar powder, Kermanshahi oil or butter, brewed saffron, vanilla and cardamom are used to prepare the dough for this sweet. Sugar is also used to decorate sweets, which is why it is called "Nan-e Shekari" which means sugar bread. Confectionery workshops in Kermanshah bake Nan-e Shekari in the oven.[3]
