Instructions
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 3: Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 4: Shape the Bread
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a large oval or round flatbread.
Use your fingertips to create dimples on the surface.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds or nigella seeds, if using.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
Step 6: Cool & Enjoy!
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter, olive oil, or your favorite dips.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Turkish bread—soft on the inside, golden on the outside, and perfect for any meal! 🥖✨
