Ingredients
– 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
– 1 teaspoon (5g) active dry yeast
– 1 1/4 cups (295ml) warm water
– 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Stir to mix.
2. Add the warm water and olive oil, and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 15 minutes.
5. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then divide it into 8 equal pieces.
6. Roll or stretch each piece into a flat, oval shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
7. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the breads for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
8. Serve the Turkish Bread warm, with your favorite dips, soups, or enjoy it on its own.
Notes
For a softer texture, brush the cooked breads with melted butter or olive oil. Leftover bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
