3. Pull and Fold. Lightly wet your hands with water. Take the far side of the dough and pull it upward and toward yourself, within the bowl, while pressing it down. Turn the bowl 90° and repeat, pulling and folding a total of 4 times.

4. Divide in Half. On a floured surface, halve the dough. Roll each half into a ball, place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and cover loosely. Allow to rise for 5 minutes.

5. Shape and Let Rise. Uncover and roll each ball into a round shape about ½“ thick. Press and squeeze to remove air bubbles. Take a new piece of plastic wrap, coat with oil or cooking spray, and cover the dough for another 25 minutes.

1. Preheat and Prep. While the dough rises, preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare the egg wash. Pour the flour into a bowl and slowly add the boiling water, whisking continuously to avoid dry clumps. Allow to cool before adding the yogurt and egg, mixing well.

2. Egg Wash and Indent. Brush the egg wash over the dough halves, covering the tops and the sides. Press with your fingertips to make indents around the edge of each half, about one inch from the edge. Dip your fingers into the remaining egg wash and continue to indent 3-4 rows within the circle that you made. Turn the dough 45° and repeat, indenting another 3-4 rows to make a diamond pattern.

4. Let Cool and Serve. Move the bread to a wire rack to prevent the bottom from burning while it cools. Serve while the bread is still warm, and enjoy!

I was bitten by the cooking bug as a kid cooking and baking along side my mom. After an ROP restaurant course in high school, I went to work in restaurants and catering. My love of travel and food has led me across the world and I love to share those foods with family and friends.There are few meals that aren’t improved by a freshly baked Turkish flatbread.
