thanks for that, but is that the big puffed bread that was served with garlic butter looked like a big puffed up nan?
it seems that it is flat and you have to puncure it if bubbles appear?

:hmmm Don't know if I'm getting the bread mixed up but if it's the one that is full of air and goes hard within a few minutes - not impressed really :roll:

Much prefer the bread from the bakery next to the Tansas in Icmeler - straight out of the oven Mmmmmmm -

Hi wgipk,
Yep - tried it with the garlic butter, tomato and chilli paste, garlic mayo, mixed vegetables - sorry but the meze tasted fine - bread was like eating cardboard !

Hi Toffeeman,

Maybe you were unlucky and chose one of the very few places where the bread is not very nice. Chefs do vary.................

However, Turkish bread (and there's many different types) is usually delicious. I wish you could buy fresh bread like that in the UK but it's near impossible. Bakers hardly exist in the UK - it's all supermarket- bland -white- doughy stuff. I heard they even do a crustless loaf in the UK now...I think the crust is the best part!

Did you try the white bread in Turkey that looks similar to an English uncut loaf? That's always very good. :wink:

if you want to get the bread sliced in the bakers they will all do it for you...just ask for it ...dilimli..a dilim is a slice.
if lavash goes hard too soon its because theyve rolled it too thin.

I need recipes and quick!!! Im hoping to copy you all and do a Turkish Night tonight!!

I have the lavash recipe off the link, but Im hoping to get recipes for meze (particularly the garlic butter and yogurty cucumber stuff) and also Ottoman Kebab/Turkish Casserole, perhaps meatballs.

'Sir' makes kofte and I do a pretty mean kuzu guvec (lamb casserole) - we had a Turkish BBQ on New Year and it was wonderful!!! Neighbours, kids, the lot - only missing the Effes. Have to say that I make a pretty mean Baklava as well. Will post recipes if anyone wants them. The challenge this year is make an Adana kepab....anyone have a good recipe?
