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[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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.
