Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (7g) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: Sesame seeds, nigella seeds, or poppy seeds for garnishing
Directions
- Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Slowly pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape the bread: Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into a round or oval loaf and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Second rise: Cover the shaped loaves with a cloth and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Bake the bread: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Optionally, brush the loaves with water and sprinkle sesame seeds or other toppings. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Enjoy: Allow the Fluffy Turkish Bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite spreads or use it to make delicious sandwiches and wraps.
