  • Yield: 12 1x

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • large bowl
  • spatula
  • plastic wrap
  • round cookie cutter
  • parchment paper
  • large pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 7 grams drive-active yeast
  • 25 grams white sugar
  • 200 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 100 milliliters water
  • 1 egg
  • 40 grams butter
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 550 grams bread flour (in Germany Type 550)
  • semolina

Instructions

  1. Stir together the yeast, warm milk, warm water, and sugar in a large bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. The milk and water should be between 32°-36°C / 90°-97°F.
  2. Add the egg to the melted butter, mix well, and pour it into the bowl with the yeast mixture. Then add the flour and salt, and mix everything with a spatula until the dough is smooth and sticky. Keep kneading by hand until the dough no longer sticks to your fingers. This should take about 10 minutes. Put the dough back in the bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rest for about 45 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle some semolina on your work surface, place the dough on it, and flatten it to about 2-3 cm thick. Sprinkle a bit of semolina on top of the dough as well. Use a round cutter to cut out circles, place them on parchment paper, and cover them with a damp cloth to rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Heat a pan and once it’s warm (you should feel the heat when your hand is close to it), place the dough circles in the pan. Cook them on low heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. Keep the finished English muffins warm in a bread basket with a towel, and enjoy! 🙂

ABOUT THE RECIPE

If you’re craving something warm, fluffy, and straight out of your cozy food dreams, you’re in for a treat. This traditional Turkish flatbread, known as Bazlama, is super easy to whip up and is perfect for any meal. Imagine the delight of pulling apart a piece of this soft, pillowy bread, fresh from the pan. This recipe will become your go-to favorite. Let’s dive into the comforting world of Turkish cuisine with this delightful bread.

How to serve
Pair it with a spread of hummus, baba ganoush, or tzatziki. It’s also fantastic as a side with soups, stews, or your favorite salads. For a quick and satisfying snack, enjoy it warm with a generous pat of butter or your preferred cheese. I like to serve it with this Spicy Turkish Vegetable Spread (Ezme) and Mint Yogurt & Cucumber Dill Salad (Cacik inspired) as a Meze variation.

How to store
Simply let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. It stays fresh at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, pop it in the freezer for up to a month. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just reheat it in a warm oven or toaster, and it’ll be as good as new.

  • pan
  • rolling pin
  • small bowl
  • kitchen brush
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients

Units Scale

DOUGH

  • 250 grams all-purpose flour
  • 80 milliliters warm water

  • 3/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tbsp white sugar

TOPPING

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. In a measuring cup, mix warm water and warm milk with sugar and dry yeast, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine flour and salt in a bowl.
  2. Add the yeast mixture to the flour and stir with a spoon until it becomes crumbly.
  3. Place the dough on a clean surface and knead by hand until it is smooth and no longer sticky. Shape the dough into a ball, place it back in the bowl, cover well with plastic wrap, and let it rise for at least 1 hour.

  8. While the first flatbread is cooking, melt the butter and chop the parsley. Mix the parsley with the melted butter and brush each flatbread with the butter mixture.
  9. Serve the bread immediately for the best taste.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • meat mallet
  • two plates
  • three shallow dishes for breading
  • large frying pan
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 slices white toast
  • 40 grams kewpie mayo
  • 40 grams tonkatsu sauce
  • 250 grams chicken breast
  • 1.5 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp panko bread crumbs
  • 3 tbsp regular bread crumbs
  • 50 grams clarified butter
  • 150 grams red cabbage
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 butter lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Cut the red cabbage into eighths and finely shred or slice one eighth. Place it in a medium-sized bowl and marinate with rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Set aside.
  • Detach 4 leaves from the head of lettuce and wash thoroughly. Pat dry and set aside.
  • Halve the chicken breast lengthwise, then cut each half again crosswise. Place each piece between two layers of plastic wrap and pound to about 0.5 cm / 0.2″ thickness using a meat mallet. Lay the flattened meat on a plate.
  • Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes or bowls. Fill the first dish with 1.5 heaped tablespoons of wheat flour, crack an egg into the second dish and whisk it. In the third dish, mix together 3 heaped tablespoons each of panko and breadcrumbs. Coat each piece of chicken first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally, press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s well coated on all sides. Place the breaded pieces side by side on a plate.
  • Heat clarified butter in a large frying pan and fry the breaded chicken pieces on both sides until crispy, about 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Let the meat drain on kitchen paper.
  • Place half of the slices of bread flat on a clean work surface, then place a lettuce leaf on each. Top each with a piece of cooked chicken, followed by a zigzag pattern of Kewpie mayo and Tonkatsu sauce. Add about 2 tablespoons of red cabbage salad on top of the sauces. Finally, top the sandwiches with another slice of bread. If desired, trim the edges all around and cut the sandwiches in half in the middle with a sharp knife.

Garlic Herb Pull Apart Bread


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 2 hours 50 min
  • Yield: 10 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • baking pan (I used a 28x8cm / 11”x3” loaf pan)
  • large bowl
  • measuring cup
  • plastic wrap (or kitchen towel)
  • small bowl
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • garlic press
  • rolling pin

Ingredients

Units Scale

DOUGH

  • 600 grams all-purpose flour
  • 42 grams fresh yeast
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 50 milliliters oil of your choice (I used cold-pressed rapeseed oil)
  • 350 milliliters lukewarm water

FILLING

  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 30 grams fresh herbs (I used thyme, oregano, basil, rosemary & parsley)
  • 125 grams soft butter
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. For the dough, mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In a measuring cup, measure out the lukewarm water, crumble in the fresh yeast, and stir until the yeast dissolves. Add the yeast water and olive oil to the flour-sugar-salt mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel and set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. With a wet hand, grab one side of the dough, lift it up, and fold it into the middle. Repeat with the other three sides. Let the dough rest for another 10 minutes, then repeat the folding process and let the dough rise, covered, for 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Finely chop the herbs and peel the garlic cloves, then either finely chop them or use a garlic press. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper into a paste and set aside (do not refrigerate, the butter should remain spreadable). Prepare the baking pan by either greasing it with a bit of butter or lining it with parchment paper, and set aside.
  4. After the dough has risen for an hour, perform one final round of folding and let it rise, covered, for another hour.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2” thick. Spread the butter-garlic-herb paste evenly over the dough. Cut the dough into strips about 8cm / 3” wide. Fold each strip like an accordion and place them upright in the baking pan with the buttered side facing up. Repeat with all the strips, pressing the dough snugly into the pan. Preheat the oven to 200°C / 392°F. Bake the dough for about 30 minutes. Serve warm or let cool. And now enjoy this piece of happiness 🙂
