Description
Discover the irresistible flavors of traditional Turkish Bread, a soft and fluffy flatbread that’s perfect for any occasion. This homemade version is easy to make and bursting with aromatic goodness.
Ingredients
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 1/4 cups warm water
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
2. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a round flatbread shape.
6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the Turkish Bread for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up.
7. Serve warm with your favorite dips, spreads, or alongside your main dish.
Notes
For a softer texture, brush the warm bread with melted butter or olive oil. You can also sprinkle the bread with sesame seeds or other herbs and spices before baking.
