Ramazan Pidesi is a traditional Turkish bread that is particularly baked and consumed during the holy month of Ramadan. It is characterized by its round shape, soft texture, and unique pattern on the top created by the baker's fingers.

History[edit | edit source]

The tradition of baking Ramazan Pidesi dates back to the Ottoman Empire. It is believed that the bread was first baked in the royal kitchens and then spread to the rest of the country.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The preparation of Ramazan Pidesi involves mixing flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and water to form a dough. The dough is then left to rise for a few hours. After rising, the dough is divided into pieces, shaped into rounds, and imprinted with a unique pattern using the baker's fingers. The bread is then baked in a hot oven until it turns golden brown.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Ramazan Pidesi holds a significant place in Turkish culture. It is a staple food during the month of Ramadan, where it is often consumed during the pre-dawn meal known as Sahur and the evening meal known as Iftar. The bread is also shared with neighbors and the less fortunate as a sign of community and solidarity.
