The Ingredients
Before we dive into the recipe, it's important to gather all the necessary ingredients. The main ingredient for Turkish Ramadan bread is all-purpose flour, which gives the bread its soft and fluffy texture. You will also need yeast for leavening, sugar for sweetness, salt for flavor, and olive oil for added moisture. Other optional ingredients include sesame seeds or nigella seeds for topping, and egg wash for a shiny finish. Make sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready before starting the recipe.
The Process
To begin, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Slowly pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for about an hour in a warm place.
The Final Steps
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into balls. Roll out each ball into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick. For the traditional look, use your fingers to make indentations around the edges of the dough. Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle sesame or nigella seeds on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. For a shiny finish, brush the bread with egg wash and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes. Once done, let the bread cool for a few minutes before serving.
