Description
This Turkish bread is so delicious and simple that anyone can make it at home. The middle of the bread is empty, so it’s great for wrapping around your favorite food or dipping with curry.
Ingredients
Dough: [6 pieces of 18cm]
- 500 g Bread flour or all-purpose flour (4cups)
- 160 ml Warm milk (2/3cup)
- 160 ml Warm water (2/3cup)
- 10 g Instant dry yeast (1.5tbsp)
- 10 g Sugar (1tbsp)
- 8 g Salt (0.8tbsp)
Topping: (optional)
- 20 g Melted unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Pour warm milk, warm water, sugar and yeast into a container. Mix them well.
- Add flour and salt and mix well. Knead the dough by hand until it’s no longer sticky and the surface is smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it proof until it has doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Divide the dough into 6 pieces and shape them into rounds. Cover them with a plastic bag.
- Press them out with a roller to a round shape of about 18 cm and 5 mm thick.
- Turn on the stove and heat the pan over medium heat.
- Bake on both sides. When lots of bubbles have formed, turn the bread over to the other side.
- When the bread pops like a balloon, turn the heat down to low.
- Cover the bread with a cloth to prevent it from drying out while baking.
- It’s better to use a thick pan than a thin one, as the bread won’t rise in a thin pan.
- Brush the bread with a little butter or olive oil and enjoy.
