Turkish bread

Sep 20, 2005 1 Replies

I am just back in New Zealand again after a few weeks in Australia where they make the most delicious, light, airy Turkish bread (pide). By comparison the bread that is sold as Turkish bread here has a more solid texture. I am wondering which is the more authentic, and also if someone out there bakes this type of ethnic bread successfully, with the lovely airy holes in it (a bit like Italian ciabatta) could they let me know please?



I don't want a referral to a recipe on the Internet. I've seen all those. Perhaps the secret is in the mixing or proving.



If someone experienced with this bread reads this and could respond, I'd be very grateful.

Carthage demands an explanation for this insolence!


IMO that is quixotic quest. and I don't beleive in 'magic recipes' either. I had my experience teaching people who have high standards but hardly know how to bake..... Those individuasl had tried many recipes by following the details word for word, but stilll were unable to attain their goals....

Therefore.. the morals here is ; I would say that no matter what recipe you use if you are not skilled in the craft nor have enough experience in breadmaking you are unlikely to get what you want.. ..
