Turkish bazlama on kefir
Description
Delicious baking for the whole family. Turkish flatbreads called “bazlama,” cooked in a skillet, turn out appetizing, airy, and very tasty. You can serve them at the table as bread, or you can cut a slit, tuck filling into the pocket that forms, and serve them that way as well. I’m sure that once you make these flatbreads, you’ll be happy with the result! You can make Turkish bazlama with kefir for a family meal, for a picnic outdoors, or simply as a snack with tea during the day. They can be served with tea or coffee.
