Fladenbrot (Turkish Flatbread)
🇹🇷 Turkey
Ingredients
- 1 egg (size M)
- 500 g flour (type 405)
- 300 ml lukewarm water
- 21 g fresh yeast
- 15 ml milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 pinch sugar
- Olive oil, for the pan and topping
- Sesame seeds, white or black, for sprinkling (or nigella seeds)
Steps
- Stir the fresh yeast into the lukewarm water, then add the olive oil and egg.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt and sugar.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and knead with a stand mixer or hand mixer with dough hooks for 10 minutes until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; it should naturally spread into a round or oval shape. Shape further with damp hands if needed.
- Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for another 45 minutes.
- Score the dough into 4x4 cm squares with a knife and brush with about 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan) and bake the flatbread on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes.
- Immediately after baking, brush the bread with milk for shine and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
