Did you try a sandwich made with a freshly cooked Turkish home bread?
I used my favorite fillings: tomato, cucumber, parsley, lettuce, just a little olive oil and oregano. Try with your own choice of fillings.

I was craving for a Turkish bagel for quite some time.
Finally I found a recipe and most importantly found courage to try it. Last month Jodie asked the name and the recipe of the bread that is approx 1 inch high & has sprinkling of sesame seeds on top. The bread is called “Ramazan pidesi” which means “Turkish pita for Ramadan.”
I found the recipe but it was in Turkish. I did not want to translate and send her the translation without trying it by myself first. Pide is a very common food in Turkey. In every city you can find a pide restaurants, or traditionally “pide house”s. Usually it is served with ayran, (yogurt soda) or tea.
The dough thickness, and the shape may vary at different cities. Even though it is usually called as Turkish pizza, it looks like a boat more than pizza. Bread for a Turkish person, is what rice is for a Chinese, and beef is for a Texan. I saw people who eat bread with everthing, even with pasta or rice. As a Turkish, I also like the bread. especially when it is just baked, and still warm.
I found this recipe from a bread machine cookbook, and adapted it a little. |
