Bazlama

Bazlama is a type of bread originating from Turkey. It is a simple and traditional flatbread which forms an integral part of Turkish cuisine.

History

The history of Bazlama dates back to the nomadic tribes of Central Asia, who are believed to have brought this bread-making technique to Turkey. The simplicity of its ingredients and the ease of its preparation made it a staple food for these nomadic tribes.

Ingredients and Preparation

Bazlama is made from basic ingredients such as flour, water, salt, and yeast. The dough is allowed to rise before it is divided into pieces, rolled out, and cooked on a griddle or in a skillet. The result is a soft and fluffy bread with a slightly crispy exterior.

Uses

Bazlama is often used as a utensil to scoop up food or is filled with various ingredients to make sandwiches. It is commonly served with meals in Turkey and is also a popular street food. It can be eaten plain, or with butter, jam, cheese, or other spreads.

Cultural Significance

In Turkey, Bazlama is more than just a type of bread. It is a symbol of hospitality and is often served to guests as a sign of welcome. It is also a common sight at Turkish breakfast tables and is a staple during the holy month of Ramadan.
