A Simple, Soothing Bread Recipe You’ll Make Again and Again
There’s something magical about a soft, warm flatbread straight from the skillet. No fuss, no kneading, and just one bowl to clean — it’s the kind of recipe your grandma would’ve sworn by, and now I’m passing it on to you.
This One-Bowl Turkish Flatbread is the kind of bread that brings people together. It’s soft, a little chewy, and just perfect for scooping up hummus, wrapping around grilled vegetables, or serving alongside a cozy bowl of soup. And the best part? No yeast, no rising time, and no stress. Just mix, cook, and enjoy.
🍞 Why This Recipe Feels Like Home
Back in the day, my mother used to call flatbread “the peacemaker.” Why? Because no matter what was for dinner, flatbread made it better. It’s the kind of food that comforts you when life feels a little too busy.
This version is inspired by Turkish bazlama — it’s thicker than a tortilla, softer than naan, and a lot quicker than both. You just mix your ingredients, roll the dough, and cook it in a hot skillet until golden and puffy.
🧺 What You’ll Need (Simple Pantry Staples)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

👩🍳 How to Make It (In Just a Few Steps)
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

🍽️ How to Enjoy
You can serve this warm and fresh as a side, use it to wrap sandwiches, or even top it with cheese and herbs like a flatbread pizza. It also stores well in the fridge for a few days — just warm it in the pan again to soften.
💬 Grandma’s Tip
“If your dough feels too sticky, add a spoonful of flour. If it’s dry, add a splash of yogurt. Dough talks, you just need to listen.”
