A Little Love Letter

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.

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.

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.

  • measuring cup
  • large bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • pan
  • rolling pin
  • small bowl
  • kitchen brush
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH
  • 250 grams all-purpose flour
  • 80 milliliters warm water
  • 80 milliliters warm full-fat milk
  • 3/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
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.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 pieces (for larger flatbreads) or 8 pieces (for smaller flatbreads). Keep the individual pieces in the bowl and loosely cover with plastic wrap.

  6. Roll each piece of dough into a very thin, round flatbread using a rolling pin. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little flour on the surface.
  7. Cook the flatbreads one at a time in the pan without adding any fat. Once you see several bubbles, flip the flatbread to the other side. Remove from the pan and keep warm under a cloth.
  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.

Imagine starting your day with the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked bagels wafting through your kitchen. These delightful homemade bagels are not only easy to make but also offer a chewy, satisfying bite that pairs perfectly with your favorite toppings. Whether you prefer the nutty flavor of sesame seeds, the subtle crunch of poppyseeds, the spicy kick of cheddar and jalapeno, or the classic mix of everything bagel seasoning, there’s a bagel for everyone to love.

Slice them in half and spread on some creamy butter, tangy cream cheese, or your favorite jam. They also make fantastic bases for sandwiches – think smoked salmon with capers and red onion on a sesame bagel, or a turkey and avocado combo on a poppyseed bagel. For a real treat, try a cheddar and jalapeno bagel with a smear of guacamole. These bagels are versatile enough to be enjoyed any time of day, making them a must-have in your kitchen.

To keep your bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, slice them in half and freeze them. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply pop them in the toaster straight from the freezer. This way, you’ll always have a delicious bagel ready whenever the craving strikes.

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • tall container
  • large bowl
  • damp cloth
  • oven
  • large pot

Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH - YEAST MIXTURE
  • 500 milliliters lukewarm water
  • 7 grams active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
DOUGH - DRY INGREDIENTS
  • 900 grams bread flour (in Germany flour type 550)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 30 grams white sugar
WATER BATH
  • 2 liters simmering water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
TOPPINGS
  • white sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a tall container, briefly stir together the yeast mixture ingredients: lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar, then let it sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, salt, and sugar. Add the yeast-water-sugar mixture and stir until just combined.
  3. Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead by hand until it barely sticks anymore.
  4. Shape the dough into 8 balls of 180g / 6oz each for large bagels or 12 balls of 120g / 4oz each for smaller bagels. Let them rest under a damp cloth for about 20 minutes.
  5. Poke a hole in the center of each dough ball with your finger and form a bagel by stretching the dough evenly.
  6. Place the bagels on parchment paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Bring water to a simmer in a large pot and dissolve the brown sugar in it. Simmer each bagel for 1 minute on each side.
  8. Remove the bagels from the water and dip them in your favorite toppings or leave them plain. I like using poppy seeds, sesame seeds, everything but the bagel seasoning, or jalapenos and cheddar cheese.
  9. Once all bagels are topped, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes depending on their size.
  10. Remove the baking sheet and enjoy the bagels 🙂

Brace yourself for the crunch and savor of the Katsu Sando, a Japanese-inspired sandwich that’s taking the culinary world by storm. Featuring crispy panko-crusted chicken, this sandwich packs a punch with every layer of flavor.

Perfectly crispy and deliciously juicy, the Katsu Sando is best served immediately after assembly to maintain its textural contrast. Slice it in half to show off the beautiful layers of red cabbage slaw, green butter lettuce, creamy kewpie mayo and tonkatsu sauce.

While best enjoyed fresh, you can store the prepped ingredients separately in the fridge. The panko chicken can be kept for up to two days.

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • 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.

Instructions

  1. For the tahini sauce, mix tahini and water in a small bowl until smooth. Press in one peeled garlic clove, add maple syrup and lemon juice, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. For the mango sauce, peel the mango and blend the soft flesh in a tall container with a hand blender until creamy, adding a bit of water if needed. Add chili flakes to taste and stir. Set aside.
  3. For the Zhoug, first grind the 3 cloves and the contents of 5 cardamom pods in a mortar. Put this powder in a tall container that fits the hand blender, and add the following: cilantro leaves, parsley leaves, 4 tablespoons of cold water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1 jalapeno without the stem, and 2 peeled garlic cloves.

  6. Finally, prepare the eggplant slices. Wash and dry the eggplant, then cut it into slices about 1 cm thick. Spread 2 tablespoons of cornstarch on a small plate and coat the eggplant slices on both sides, shaking off any excess. Fry the slices in a hot pan with 2 tablespoons of clarified butter until crispy on both sides, then let them drain on a paper towel.
  7. To assemble, spread tahini sauce on each piece of bread, add tomato-cucumber salad, then a few eggplant slices, and top with Zhoug and mango sauce. Finally, sprinkle the roasted chickpeas on top. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • 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 🙂

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • box grater
  • medium-sized bowl
  • glass or small bowl
  • dough scraper / spatula
  • round cutter
  • pastry brush

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 300 grams all-purpose flour
  • 35 grams white sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 90 grams butter
  • 1 egg
  • 160 milliliters milk
  • 2 tbsp milk for brushing

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  • Place the butter in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/392°F.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a box grater.
  2. In a glass, whisk together the milk and egg and add to the other ingredients. Stir with a spoon until the mixture just comes together. Then, place the dough onto a clean work surface and fold it a few times with a dough scraper or a spatula, so that the dough comes together. It’s important not to use your hands for this, as the butter will soften too much, causing the dough to spread out during baking.
  3. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 30×20 cm and cut as many scones as possible using a round cutter. Fold the dough again and continue cutting out scones until all the dough is used. If you don’t have a cutter, you can also cut the dough into triangles. This amount of dough makes about 10 scones.
  4. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spaced a little apart. Pour 2 tablespoons of milk into the glass and use the brush to spread it over the scones.
  5. Bake the scones in the oven for about 12 minutes. Then remove from the oven and enjoy immediately or let cool.
