Yufka (Turkish Flatbread)
Yufka is a thin, round Turkish flatbread which is made using unleavened flour. It is similar to lavash and is a very easy dish to make and the dough can be assembled in no time. The only catch is to let the dough rest for at least 4 hours to get nice soft texture on the flatbreads. Dough pieces are then rolled out into a circular sheet. The sheets are then baked on heated iron plate called as Sac for 2-3 minutes. The shelf life of Yufka depends on the moisture content. Before consumption the moistened bread is sprayed with some warm water and then covered with a cotton cloth and is rested for 10 to 12 minutes before serving.
When I read the recipe, I found it similar to frankie ( Vegetables or meat is rolled in a wrap ) in many ways , just I found Yufka more soft I had made some yummy and spicy no Onion no garlic Baingan Bharta in morning, I used that as filling for the Yufka with some slices of onion and topped it up with some lemon juice and mmm...I know you are drooling. For DH, I made some chicken kheema and added it to this. Both of us enjoyed this yummy wraps. My son eat the wraps with some dals - an innovative combination 😛 . I plan to make it more frequently , any ideas for fillings are most welcome. I took the yufka dough recipe from Srivalli's Blog. So off to the recipe.
