As per wiki, Bazlama is a popular flatbread made from wheat flour, water, table salt, and yeast. After mixing and two to three hours fermentation, the dough are divided, rounded, shaped to desired thickness and cooked on a hot plate. During cooking, the bread is turned over to get cook the other side. After baking, it is generally consumed fresh. Shelf life of bazlama varies from several hours to a few days, depending on storage conditions. This is a Turkish flatbread which can be consumed with different side dishes.
Bazlama sounds almost like our Naan flat bread, this Turkish flat bread just need a simple utensils to prepare the dough and doesnt need any other specific gadgets. Not even a rolling pin is needed to shape out this yeasted dough.These yeasted Turkish flatbread came out extremely fabulous and we had this flatbread with some mutton curry for our dinner and we had a super dinner. Just a flatbread is quite enough to satisfy anyone's tastebuds and this bread is very filling.Am running my first week of blogging marathon with International Flatbreads as theme, for the first day, i picked this Turkish yeasted flat bread here.
