Description
A simple recipe for making soft and fluffy Turkish flatbread without an oven.
Ingredients
- 500 g Bread flour or all-purpose flour (4 cups)
- 160 ml Warm milk (2/3 cup)
- 160 ml Warm water (2/3 cup)
- 10 g Instant dry yeast (1.5 tbsp)
- 10 g Sugar (1 tbsp)
- 8 g Salt (0.8 tbsp)
- 20 g Melted unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Pour warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast into a container. Stir to mix them well.
- Add the flour and salt to the mixture, combining until you have a sticky dough.
- Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface until smooth and no longer sticky, about 8-10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
- Once risen, divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape them into rounds. Cover with a plastic bag to keep them moist.
- Roll each round into a circle about 18 cm in diameter and 5 mm thick.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and place a rolled-out dough circle onto the pan.
- Cook until bubbles begin to form, then flip the bread over to cook the other side.
- When the bread puffs up like a balloon, reduce the heat to low and cover with a cloth to retain moisture.
- Once cooked, brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil, and enjoy!
Notes
Serve warm with dips like hummus or tzatziki. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
