Turkish bread recipe

Turkish bread, also known as pide, is a type of flatbread that is a staple of Turkish cuisine. The bread is characterized by its slightly chewy texture and unique boat shape, which is achieved by pressing the edges of the dough inward and creating a shallow channel in the middle.

To make Turkish bread, a dough is prepared from flour, yeast, salt, water, and sometimes olive oil or yogurt. The dough is then kneaded until it is smooth and elastic, and left to rise for a few hours until it has doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, it is divided into portions and rolled out into oval shapes. The edges of the dough are then folded inward to create a boat shape, and a shallow channel is made in the middle. The bread is then brushed with a mixture of egg and water and topped with various toppings, such as sesame seeds, nigella seeds, or herbs.

The bread is then baked in a hot oven until it is golden brown and slightly puffed up. The resulting bread is slightly chewy and has a crispy crust, with a soft and airy crumb. It can be eaten on its own or used as a base for sandwiches and dips.
