Turkish Yogurt Bazlama Bread
Soft, fluffy Turkish Yogurt Bazlama Bread cooked on a skillet until golden brown, tender inside with a gentle tang from yogurt. Perfect for dipping, wrapping, or serving warm at the table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour (about 440 grams)
- 1 cup plain yogurt (about 240 grams)
- 1/2 cup warm water (about 120 milliliters)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (about 7 grams)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (about 30 milliliters)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (about 4 grams)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt (about 9 grams)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until slightly foamy.
- Add the plain yogurt, olive oil, and salt, then gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Preheat a non stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces, shape into balls, and flatten each into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook each round in the warm skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown with light toasted spots and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked bread to a plate and cover with a towel to keep soft. Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Keep the dough slightly soft, adding too much flour can make the bread dense.
- If the bread browns too quickly, lower the heat slightly.
- Cover the cooked breads immediately with a towel to maintain softness.
- You can refrigerate the dough overnight for deeper flavor.
