3.9 from 31 reviews

This No-Oven Turkish Bread recipe offers a simple and delicious way to enjoy homemade flatbread cooked on the stovetop, topped with fragrant garlic, sesame seeds, and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • ¾ cup (180ml) warm milk
  • ½ cup (120ml) warm water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

For Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients. Start by mixing the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast in a large bowl. This ensures all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Add liquids and knead. Slowly add the warm milk, warm water, and olive oil while mixing. Once it starts coming together, I knead it for about 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Let dough rise. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
  4. Divide and shape. Once risen, I divide the dough into six equal portions and roll each one into a round, flat disk about ¼-inch thick.
  5. Cook bread on skillet. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each bread for about 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form. Then, I flip it over and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Brush with butter and garlic. While the bread is still warm, I brush it with melted butter and minced garlic for extra flavor.
  7. Add toppings and serve. Finally, I sprinkle some sesame seeds and fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • You can substitute olive oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • Optional toppings like garlic, sesame seeds, and fresh herbs enhance the bread’s taste.
