Turkish Bread Recipe Without Egg

How to make fluffy, slightly chewy, flavorful no-knead Turkish bread with 8 ingredients, one bowl, and just minutes of hands-on prep. This pide bread is the perfect accompaniment to mezze and for mopping up sauces!

This past year, I’ve shared recipes for several types of easy flatbread, including pita and naan. Now, it’s the turn of this super simple, no-knead Turkish bread (pide bread).

Turkish

Turkish pide bread is similar to naan, as a thicker, fluffy bread rather than the thinner ‘pocketed’ variety like pita bread. However, unlike naan bread, this easy no-knead bread takes away the kneading step, meaning it only requires just minutes of simple hands-on prep. Plus, this Turkish bread is oven-baked, rather than done over a hot plate/skillet.

Ingredient Cloud Bread (no Flour, Butter Or Oil)

There are several types of Turkish flatbread options: lahmacun, bazlama, gozleme, yufka, pide, etc. However, this no-knead pide bread is probably one of my favorites to prepare. All you need is just one bowl, a few simple ingredients, and within no time, you’re baking a fragrant, tender, fluffy homemade Turkish bread.

Traditionally, pide is a type of Turkish pizza, shaped like a boat, topped, and baked in a traditional stone oven. However, this version is slightly different and referred to as ‘Ramadan pide’ bread (Ramazan pidesi), served during the month of Ramadan in the morning and to break the fast at the end of the day.

While it uses a similar method and ingredients to Pide pizza, it is left plain – often just sprinkled with some sesame and nigella seeds and served alongside mezze and other foods. It’s the perfect dipping and ‘mopping’ bread.

Plus, this recipe is also so simple as it’s for no-knead pide, and there’s no need to go hunting for a stone oven – the oven you already have is more than capable of yielding delicious, fluffy, flat Turkish bread.

Also, when making this Turkish Ramadan pide bread a home, you can enjoy it at any time of the year – and you’ll want to!

For dairy-free, egg-free pide: use your choice of dairy-free milk and omit the egg yolk and yogurt wash; instead, use a little olive oil. The bread won’t become golden but should still take on a little color.

Unleavened Turkish Flatbreads (gluten Free)

Combine the warm water, milk, sugar, and dry yeast in a bowl, mix, and set aside for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast.

In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour and salt. Then add the yeast mixture, oil, and egg white and mix well to obtain a fairly wet, sticky dough.

Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and move to a warm area to rise for 30-40 minutes. During this time, the dough should double in size – you may need longer depending on the weather and several other factors.

Soft Bread Recipe

Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper and a dusting of flour, then turn the dough out onto it. Shape it into a circular shape without knocking too much air out of it.

Once rested, brush the dough with the egg wash and then make a pattern on the dough with your fingers (refer to picture).

The easiest way to do this is first to use a finger to draw a rough circle shape about 1-inch in from the edge of the dough. Then poke vertical and horizontal (or diagonal both ways) lines (crisscrossed) within that circle, like a grid.

Ingredient Milk Bread (no Yeast, Butter, Oil, Sugar Or Eggs)

There are so many ways to enjoy this Turkish flatbread: as part of a mezze platter, with sauce-y dishes like stews, and alongside breakfast.

When your homemade Turkish bread starts to get a little old (2 days after baking), I like to slice it into strips and lightly toast it then serve with my favorite dips.

To make ahead: this isn’t a method I’ve tried yet with this pide bread. However, I’ve done this with similar flatbread recipes, so it should work. Do the second proof in the fridge, covered. The cold temperature will slow down the proofing so that it takes 4-6 hours (at least). However, the bread can be kept there for up to a day (24hrs), proofing before baking.

Measure the flour into your mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, salt and yeast. Add the milk and stir with a dough hook or wooden spoon to combine. Add the oil and stir once more, scraping the sides of the bowl.

Dust your worktop with flour and tip the dough onto it. Sprinkle the dough with more flour, it will be sticky, and use your hands to shape it into a circle.

Use your fingers to create a cross on the inner circle then diagonal lines to create 8 sections (like a sliced pizza).Cover loosely with cling film and leave to rise for 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220° C (430° F).

Dent the dough along the pattern you have created with your fingers. Brush all over with the oat cream and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly before tearing into slices and serve with your favourite dips.

This bread tastes best when fresh out of the oven. In fact it is impossible to resist when warm, fluffy and fragrant!

You can store it wrapped in a clean linen towel for a couple of days. It will start to go stale but you can revive it by toasting if you like.
