Sheila's Authentic Baslama Bread

This is another of Sheila's specialties, made on board the She-Cat in the marina at Finike.   It is a Turkish bread recipe and is especially handy method to use on boats as you make it in a frying pan.

I am not sure where we would get soft wheat flour here, but it would probably be the same as for making pasta.   The flour sold in the US is from soft wheat.   The flour they use for making bread is labelled "bread flour". 

Sheila used the blocks of yeast they have in Europe.   We'd have to use a package of dry yeast.

Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. dry yeast
5 cups flour (soft wheat)

Instructions:
Mix milk, sugar, and yeast, and leave until the yeast bubbles (about 15 minutes).

Put the flour in a bowl, make a well, and add the liquid. and stir.

 Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead, adding flour as required.













Cover the dough and leave until doubled in size.

Roll bits to fill frying pan about 1/4 thick.

Heat an oiled frying pan.

Cook 3-4 minutes, turn and cook 1 more minute.

When both sides are slightly brown, remove to plate.
