Turkish flatbread
Turkish flatbread is perfect for filling, dipping and topping. Whether in the morning, at lunchtime or in the evening – this bread goes with every meal. Do you happen to have guests in the house soon? Then you can easily make it yourself with just a handful of ingredients that you are sure to have in the cupboard.
The best Turkish flatbread
Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and when you bite into it, the black cumin and sesame seeds should pop off the crust and spread all over your clothes. The flatbread tastes best when it comes straight out of the oven … still slightly warm and particularly crispy. Do you buy your bread in the supermarket? Then it’s usually packaged in a plastic bag and tastes bland and rubbery. So don’t and bake it with this simple recipe!
Vegan flatbread
Many flatbread recipes are made with yoghurt or milk and many of my friends also bake it with dairy products. This is also how the original Turkish flatbread is made. I decided against it because not everyone consumes animal products. And when I invite friends over, I like to make a mezze with Turkish or Lebanese flatbread, accompanied by dips such as baba ghanoush, hummus, fava or muhammara. And in no time at all, a table full of vegan delicacies has been conjured up.
You can easily prepare the dough by simply mixing a water and yeast mixture and kneading it with flour and olive oil to form a dough. Leave it to rest for about 1 hour, knead it into a flatbread, brush it with olive oil and sprinkle it with black cumin and sesame seeds.
And when it comes out of the oven, you can serve it fragrant and fresh.
Bake the best and easiest recipe for Turkish flatbread and enjoy it. I hope you enjoy it and, of course, bon appétit.
