Few things are as comforting as warm, freshly made Turkish bread. Known for its soft interior, lightly crisped exterior, and beautiful golden spots, this fluffy flatbread is a staple in Turkish homes. It’s brushed with butter, cooked on a hot pan, and stacked high so each layer stays tender and warm. Whether served for breakfast, alongside stews, or simply enjoyed on its own, this bread is pure comfort food.
What makes Turkish bread special is its pillowy texture. It’s not dry or brittle—instead, it bends easily, tears softly, and practically melts in your mouth.
Why This Bread Is So Fluffy
The secret lies in a simple yeast dough and a short resting time. Yeast gives the bread its lightness, while cooking it on a skillet (rather than baking) creates those signature golden spots without drying it out. A final brush of butter seals in moisture and flavor.
