Turkish Bazlama is a yeast leavened flat bread which turns out super soft and fluffy.This is very similar to Indian naan and also Arabic kubus but this is thicker and softer.
I love making flatbread which puffs up and forms pockets. It is so satisfying to see the bread puffing up, I feel its an achievement when my bread puff up like that. With this bread, the possibilities are endless. You can eat is with humus and kebabs, make mini pita pockets out of it with different fillings, make shawarma, with shakshouka etc.
I made it thrice already in the past few days. My kids loved it with their favorite Kiri cream cheese and cucumber. That would definitely be a great lunch box item. It is not at all difficult to put this recipe together, the only little work that you have to do is while kneading it. If you have a stand mixer, it becomes easier. Even without that, you can knead with hand for just 5 minutes. The soft, pillowy result will make the whole process worth it. Hope you’ll give this a try.

Thank you so much Sharmi!! Im so sorry, I missed your comment. Im so hhappy that you liked this recipe. Yaay!!
Your recipe says salt to taste, but can you give me an idea how much salt to add? or a range? I watched your video too but couldn’t tell how much you added. I’d guess 1 or 2 teaspoons. I just don’t want to end up with flat tasting or super salty breads. Thank you!
Hey Selena,
I am sorry, but I didn’t measure the salt quantity. I’ll make this bread again tomorrow and let you know.
Hi
This bread looks very easy and yummy. Can I substitute whole wheat atta/ chakki atta for all purpose flour for a healthier version as their are constipation issues in my family with white flour.
Thank you in advance
Yes, you can but the texture won’t be the same.
