I also made this bread, to go with Turkish Kebab. It was another recipe on my should-try list. The original recipe is here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Bazlama---Turkish-Flat-Bread/Detail.aspx. It's delicious!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup Greek-style yogurt
1 tbps white sugar
1 tsp salt
4 cups bread flour (original recipe calls for all-purpose flour)
1/2 tbsp crushed rosemary (my addition)
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
I don't have patience or time for kneading bread so always make dough in the bread machine. However, I always bake in the oven -- don't like the hole left by the blade. It takes 1.5 hours for the dough cycle.
Spray large bowl with non-stick spray (as well as lightly oil your hands) and shape dough into a large ball. Cover and let rise for 2 hours. You should have a lot of dough! ;)
Divide the dough into small balls, approximately tangerine size (not a standard comparison but I am looking at the bowl of tangerines). Place back into the bowl and let rise 10-15 minutes -- this will make shaping much easier.
Sprinkle the cutting board (or counter, if your prefer) with flour and shape each ball into the round, the size of dessert plate. I didn't roll the dough -- it was very easy to stretch it with hands. Place rounds on cookie sheets and let rise for 15-20 minutes. To avoid any possible draft, place cookie sheets into the cold oven.
Heat the grill (we have an electric grill which I love) or skillet (cast iron is recommended) to medium-high heat. Bake rounds until golden brown on the bottom, flip, and bake until the other side is golden brown, too. Brush with butter and place in a bowl covered with paper towels; cover to keep warm and soft.
