How to Make Bazlama Turkish Flat Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir well.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
  7. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin oval or circle (about 8-10 inches in diameter).
  9. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  10. Cook each Bazlama for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly puffed up. Lightly brush with olive oil while cooking for extra softness.
  11. Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
