Turkish Milk Bread in a Pan (Sütlü Ekmek)
🥣 Instructions:
1. Make the Dough:
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
-
Add warm milk, yogurt (if using), and oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
2. Let It Rise:
-
Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Shape & Spice:
-
Punch down the dough and divide into 6–8 equal balls.
-
Flatten each ball slightly and optionally sprinkle spices or seeds on top.
-
Arrange them in a lightly greased non-stick or cast iron skillet, like flower petals or in a spiral pattern.
4. Final Rise:
-
Cover the pan and let the shaped dough rest for 20–30 minutes to puff up again.
5. Cook on the Stovetop:
-
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for 15–20 minutes, checking the bottom occasionally.
-
Once golden on the bottom, flip each piece gently (or cover with a plate and flip the whole loaf) and cook the other side for 10–15 minutes until fully cooked.
🍯 Serve Warm:
-
Brush with butter and sprinkle with sesame or nigella seeds.
-
Serve with honey, cheese, or olive tapenade.
